QUESTION 3 In Chem 113, we saw that the heat associated with a chemical reaction could be determined in one step, or as the sum of two steps, as long as the two steps resulted in the same overall reaction. (Hess' Law). Consider a reaction which occurs in the two steps shown below. What is the overall reaction that these two steps are equivalent to? Step 1: H202(aq) + I(aq) --> H2O + Or-(aq) Step 2: H202(aq) + O1-(aq) - H20 + 02(g) - I(aq)

**Chemical Reactions Involving Hydrogen Peroxide**

Below are different chemical equations showcasing various reactions involving hydrogen peroxide (\( \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \)) in aqueous solution. Each equation includes the initial reactants, the resultant products, and their respective states (aqueous or gaseous).

**a.**  
\[ 
2 \, \text{H}_2\text{O}_2(aq) \rightarrow 2 \, \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) + \text{O}_2(g) 
\]  
This equation represents the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas.

**b.**  
\[ 
\text{H}_2\text{O}_2(aq) + \text{OI}^-(aq) + \text{I}^-(aq) \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) + \text{O}_2(g) + \text{I}_2(g) 
\]  
In this reaction, hydrogen peroxide reacts with hypoiodite (\( \text{OI}^- \)) and iodide ions (\( \text{I}^- \)) to form water, oxygen gas, and iodine gas.

**c.**  
\[ 
2 \, \text{H}_2\text{O}_2(aq) + 2 \, \text{I}^-(aq) \rightarrow 2 \, \text{H}_2(g) + 2 \, \text{O}_2(g) + \text{I}_2(aq) 
\]  
Hydrogen peroxide reacts with iodide ions to form hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, and aqueous iodine.

**d.**  
\[ 
2 \, \text{H}_2\text{O}_2(aq) + 2 \, \text{OI}^-(aq) \rightarrow 2 \, \text{H}_2(g) + 3 \, \text{O}_2(g) + 2 \, \text{I}^-(aq) 
\]  
This equation shows hydrogen peroxide reacting with hypoiodite ions to produce hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, and iodide ions in solution.

Each equation illustrates different chemical pathways and products that can result from reactions involving hydrogen peroxide, emphasizing its role as an oxidizing and reducing agent.

**Question 3**

In Chem 113, we saw that the heat associated with a chemical reaction could be determined in one step, or as the sum of two steps, as long as the two steps resulted in the same overall reaction. This concept is known as Hess's Law.

Consider a reaction which occurs in the two steps shown below. What is the overall reaction that these two steps are equivalent to?

**Step 1:**  
\[\text{H}_2\text{O}_2(\text{aq}) + \text{I}^- (\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{OI}^- (\text{aq})\]

**Step 2:**  
\[\text{H}_2\text{O}_2(\text{aq}) + \text{OI}^- (\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{O}_2(\text{g}) + \text{I}^- (\text{aq})\]

Determine the overall reaction that these two steps are equivalent to.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Multistep reactions are those reactions that occur in more than one step.

To get an overall reaction, every step must be added.
