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

question 7

Multiple Choice

The rate law for the following mechanism is ClO^-(aq) + H₂O(l) →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^-].
