17.) On the right is a proposed mechanism for a reaction. The experimentally determined rate law for the reaction below is rate = k[H2O2][I– ]. a.) Identify all intermediates included in this mechanism.
1.) H2O2 + I– ↓ HOI + OH– slow
2.) OH– + H+ ↓ H2O fast
3.) HOI + H+ + I– ↓ I2 + H2O fast
net rxn: H2O2 + 2 H+ + 2 I–↓ I2 + 2 H2O
b.) Write the rate law that this mechanism predicts for this reaction.

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
