The reaction ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)+{\text{I}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)\to 2\text{HI}\left(g\right)$ proceeds via a two-step mechanism in which the rate law for the rate-determining step is rate $=k\left[{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\right]{\left[\text{I}\right]}^2$ Write the mechanism and rewrite the rate law using only reactant concentrations.
