Ch.14 - Chemical Kinetics
Chapter 14, Problem 72b
The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is catalyzed by iodide ion. The catalyzed reaction is thought to proceed by a two-step mechanism:
H2O2(aq) + I-(aq) → H2O(l) + IO-(aq) (slow)
IO-(aq) + H2O2(aq) → H2O(l) + O2(g) + I-(aq) (fast)
(b) Identify the intermediate, if any, in the mechanism.
