Question

The following mechanism has been proposed for the gas phase reaction of H2 with ICl:

H(g) + ICl(g) ---> HI (g) + HCl (g)

HI (g) + ICl(g) ---> I2 (g) + HCl(g) 

 If the first step is slow and the second one is fast, which rate law do you expect to be observed for the overall reaction?

Group of answer choices
A.) r = k[H2][ICl]2
 
B.) r = k[HI][ICl]
 
C.) r = k[H2]
 
D.) r = k[H2][ICl]
Expert Solution
Step 1
