Question

The reaction

3ClO-(aq) → ClO3-(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)

has been proposed to occur by the following mechanism:

ClO-(aq) + ClO-aq)→ ClO2-(aq) + Cl-aq) (slow)

ClO2-(aq) + ClO-(aq) → ClO3-(aq) + Cl-(aq) (fast)

Which rate law is consistent with this mechanism?


 

a.

rate = [Cl-][ClO-]2

b.

rate = [ClO-]2

c.

rate = [ClO3-]3

d.

rate = [ClO2-][ClO-]

e.

rate = k[ClO-]
