Question:

Consider the gas-phase reaction:H(g) + 12(g) 2 HI(g)

The reaction was experimentally determined to be first order in H2 and first order in I2. Consider the proposed mechanisms.

Proposed mechanism I:H(g) + 1(g) 2 HI(g) Single step

Proposed mechanism II:12(8) 21(8) k = k H(g) + 21(g) k 2 HI(g) Fast Slow

a. Show that both of the proposed mechanisms are valid.

b. What kind of experimental evidence might lead you to favor mechanism II over mechanism I?
