The Rate Law for the Following Mechanism Is
ClO^-(aq)+ H₂O(l) $f$

question 79

Multiple Choice

The rate law for the following mechanism is
ClO^-(aq) + H₂O(l) $f$
HOCl(aq) + OH^-(aq)
K,Fast
I^-(aq) + HOCl(aq) $\rightarrow$ HOI(aq) + Cl^-(aq)
K₁,Slow
HOI(aq) + OH^-(aq) $\rightarrow$ OI^-(aq) + H₂O(l)
K₂,Fast

• A) rate = k₁[I^-][HOCl].
• B) rate = k₁K[ClO^-][I^-][OH^-].
• C) rate = k₁K[ClO^-][I^-][OH^-]^-1.
• D) rate = k₁k₂K[ClO^-][I^-].
• E) rate = k₁K[ClO^-][I^-].
