Consider the following mechanism for the oxidation of bromide ions by hydrogen peroxide in aqueous acid solution. H + H?O? <===> H?O+ OH H?O OH+Br -----> HOBr + H?O (slow) HOBr + H+ + Br -----> Br? + H?O (fast) Which of the following rate laws is consistent with the mechanism? Select one: a. Rate = K[HOBr][H*][Br][H?0?] b. C. d. e. Rate = K[H?O?][H*]2[Br] Rate = k[H?O?][H*][Br] Rate = k [H?O OH][Br] (rapid equilibrium) Rate = k[Br]
