Question
For a reaction
$2\text{H}_2\text{O}_2\frac{\text{I}^-}{\text{alkaline medium}}2\text{H}_2\text{O}+\text{O}_2$
the proposed mechanism is as given below:
  1. $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2+\text{I}^{-}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{H}_2\text{O}+\text{IO}^{-}(\text{slow})$
  2. $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2+\text{IO}^{-}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{H}_2\text{O}+\text{I}^{-}+\text{O}_2(\text{fast})$
  1. Write rate law for the reaction.
  2. Write the overall order of reaction.
  3. Out of steps (1) and (2), which one is rate determining step?

Answer

$2\text{H}_2\text{O}_2\frac{\text{I}^-}{\text{alkaline medium}}2\text{H}_2\text{O}+\text{O}_2$In Some cases, the rate of reaction depends not only on the reactant but may also depend on the substance present as a catalyst. This is also seen in the above reaction. The rate of reaction depends on the slowest step in case of a complex reaction.
  1. $\text{H}_2\text{O}_{2} +\text{I}^- \xrightarrow{\ \ \text{Slow}\ \ }\text{H}_{2}\text{O} + \text{IO}^-$
  2. $\text{H}_2\text{O}_{2} +\text{IO} \xrightarrow{\ \ \text{Fast}\ \ }\text{H}_{2}\text{O} + \text{I}^-+\text{O}_2$
  1. Rate law:
$\text{Rate}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{\text{d}\big[\text{H}_2\text{O}_2\big]}{\text{dt}}=\text{k}\big[\text{H}_2\text{O}_2\big]\big[\text{I}^-\big]$
  1. The overall order of reaction:
$\text{Rate}=\text{k}\big[\text{H}_2\text{O}_2\big]\big[\text{I}^-\big]$
$\text{Order}=1+1=2$
