In an aqueous solution, iodide ions are oxidized to hypoiodide ions while hypochlorite ions are reduced to chloride ions. The mechanism of this reaction has been proposed to proceed in three steps: Step 1 ClO - + H 2 O ⇋ HClO + OH- (The reaction is fast in both directions, equilibrium) Step 2 I- + HClO → HIO + Cl- (slow) Step 3 HIO + OH- → IO- + H2 O (fast) Is the proposed mechanism reasonable? Write the rate equation for formation of HIO which is implicated by the proposed mechanism.

Question
In an aqueous solution, iodide ions are oxidized to hypoiodide ions while hypochlorite ions are reduced to chloride ions. The mechanism of this reaction has been proposed to proceed in three steps:
Step 1 ClO - + H 2 O ⇋ HClO + OH- (The reaction is fast in both directions, equilibrium)
Step 2 I- + HClO → HIO + Cl- (slow)
Step 3 HIO + OH- → IO- + H2 O (fast)
Is the proposed mechanism reasonable? Write the rate equation for formation of HIO which is implicated by the proposed mechanism.
