**Question 2**

The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is catalyzed by iodide in a two-step process:

1. \( \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 + \text{I}^- \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{IO}^- \) (slow)
2. \( \text{IO}^- + \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{O}_2 + \text{I}^- \) (fast)

Overall reaction:

\[ 
\underline{2\text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{O}_2} 
\]

**What is the rate law predicted by this mechanism?**
- ○ Rate = k[\(\text{H}_2\text{O}_2\)]
- ○ Rate = k[\(\text{H}_2\text{O}_2\)][\(\text{I}^-\)]
- ○ Rate = k[\(\text{H}_2\text{O}_2\)]^2
- ○ Rate = k[\(\text{H}_2\text{O}_2\)][\(\text{IO}^-\)]

Expert Solution
Step 1

Rate of reaction depends on slow step reaction, because it is a rate determining step.

H2O2 + I ➡️ H2O + IO-

So rate of reaction depends on concentration of reactants of slow step reaction.
