Question

. The proposed reaction mechanism is as follows:
i. BrO3- (aq) + H+ (aq) à HBrO3 (aq) [Fast]
ii. HBrO3 (aq) + H+ (aq) à H2BrO3+ (aq) [Medium]
iii. H2BrO3+ (aq) + Br- (aq) à Br2O2 (aq) + H2O (ℓ) [Slow]
iv. Br2O2 (aq) + 4H+(aq) + 4Br-(aq) à 3Br2 (ℓ) + H2O (ℓ) [Fast]
Evaluate the validity of this proposed reaction. Justify your answer.

The proposed reaction mechanism is as follows:
BrO3 (aq) + H+ (aq) → HBrO3(aq)
HBrO3(aq) + H* (aq) → H₂BrO3* (aq)
