The decomposition of hydrogen 2 peroxide is catalyzed by iodide ion. The reaction mechanism is thought to be H,O2(aq) + l(aq) → H,0(I) + 10 (aq) 10(aq) + H,O2(aq) → H,0(I) + O2(g) + I'(aq) At 25°C, the first step is slow relative to the second step. What is the rate law predicted by the reaction mechanism? Is there a reaction intermediate?

Some bacteria are resistant to the antibiotic penicillin because they produce penicillinase, an enzyme with a molecular weight of 3104 g/mol that converts penicillin into inactive molecules. Although the kinetics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions can be complex, at low concentrations this reaction can be described by a rate equation that is first order in the catalyst (penicillinase) and that also involves the concentration of penicillin. From the following data: 1.0 L of a solution containing 0.15 g ( 0.15106 g) of penicillinase, determine the order of the reaction with respect to penicillin and the value of the rate constant.
