You want to test the following proposed mechanism for the oxidation of HBr. You find that the rate is first order with respect to HBr and to You cannot detect HOBr O2. among the products. HOBr + HBr k 3 " H2O + Br2 HOOBr + HBr k 2 " 2 HOBr HBr + O2 k 1 " HOOBr k 2. K M, 3I04 E + I EI (a) If the proposed mechanism is correct, which must be the rate-determining step? (b) Can you prove the mechanism from these observations? (c) Can you disprove the mechanism from these observations?
