Solved: The reaction S2O22 8 1 2I2 2SO4 22 1 I2 proceeds

Chapter 13, Problem 13.81

(choose chapter or problem)

The reaction S2O22 8 1 2I2 2SO4 22 1 I2 proceeds slowly in aqueous solution, but it can be catalyzed by the Fe31 ion. Given that Fe31 can oxidize I 2 and Fe21 can reduce S2O8 22, write a plausible two-step mechanism for this reaction. Explain why the uncatalyzed reaction is slow.
