The mechanism proposed for the oxidation of iodide ion by the hypochlorite ion is shown below. Step \( 1 \quad \mathrm{ClO}^{-}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \stackrel{ }{\longrightarrow} \quad \mathrm{HClO}+\mathrm{OH}^{-} \quad \) (fast, equilibrium) This is reversible a. What is the overall reaction for this mechanism? Answer within the test and not on scratch paper. b. What are the intermediates if any are present? Answer within the test and not on scratch paper. c. What is the rate law expression for each step of the mechanism (including any reversible steps)? Answer this question on your scratch paper, clearly labeled. d. What is the predicted rate law expression for this reaction? Show all work to receive any credit. Answer this on your scratch paper, clearly labeled e. What would be the expected units for k using seconds for the time unit? Answer within the test and not on the scratch paper.
