4. The rate law for the reaction H₂ (g) + I2 (g) → 2 HI (g) was determined to be rate = k [H₂] [1₂], which led to a simple single-step bimolecular mechanism where an H₂ molecule simply collided with an I2 molecule. In the 1960s, though, different teams found spectroscopic evidence for this mechanism: (1) 1₂ (g) → 21 (g) (fast) (2) H₂ (g) + I (g) → H₂I (g) (fast) (3) H₂I (g) + I (g) → 2 HI (g) (slow) Show that this mechanism is consistent with the rate law: rate = k [H₂] [1₂]. To do this, assign individual rate constants for ALL forward and reverse reactions in the mechanism (I'm guessing k₁, k-1, k2, k-2 and k3). Then show that the overall rate law from combining individual rate laws for the mechanism steps yields rate= (some combination of k's) [H₂] [1₂], and thus k = (some combination of k's). Remember that there should be no reaction intermediates in the rate law, only reactants. \

The recombination of l atoms in the gas phase in the presence of argon (which removes the energy released by the formation of an l-l bond, and so prevents the immediate dissociation of a newly formed l2 molecule) was investigated and the order of the reaction was determined by the method of initial rates. The initial rates of reaction of 2 l(g) + Ar(g) → l2(g) + Ar(g) were as follows: [l]0/( 10-5 mol dm-3) 1.0 2.0 4.0 6.0V0/(mol dm-3 S- 1) (a) 8.70 X 10-4 3.48 X 10-3 1.39 X 10-2 3. 13 X 10-2 (b) 4.35 x 10-3 1.74 x 10-2 6.96 x 10-2 1.57 x 10-1 (C) 8.69 X 10-3 3.47 X 10-2 1.38 X 10-1 3. 13 X 10-1The Ar concentrations are (a) 1.0 x 10-3 mol dm-3 , (b) 5.0 x 10-3 mol dm-3, and (c) 1.0 x 10-2 mol dm-3 .
