The reaction of hydrogen and iodine monochloride is given as `H_(2 (g)) + 2I Cl_((g)) + I_(2 (g))` This reaction is of first order with respect to `H_(2 (g))` and `I Cl_((g))` following mechanisms were proposed Mechanism A : `H_(2(g)) + 2I Cl_((g)) to HCl_((g)) + I_(2(g))` Mechanism B : `{:(H_(2 (g)) + ICl_((g)) to HCl_((g)) + HI_((g)) "Slow") , (HI_((g)) + ICl_((g)) to HCl_((g)) + I_(2(g)) "Fast"):}` Which of the above mechanism(s) can be consists with the given information about the reactionA. B onlyB. A and B onlyC. Neither A nor BD. A only |
Answer» Correct Answer - a Rate of reaction determined by rate determining step or slowest step . Because the mechanism B involves one molecule of I Cl in slowest step so mechanism B is approximate . |
