The Breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen is catalyzed by the iodide ion. The mech. proposed for this reaction is as follows:
H2O2 + I- ----->H2O +OI -1 (Slow)
H2o2 + OI-1------> H2O + O2 + I-
What experiments could I run to determine the oder of the iodine clock reaction in terms of H2SO3?
And why is the iodine clock reaction so slow? Is this related to the rate law/mechanism for the iodine clock reaction? Colision theory? How's this all tie in? Thanks in advance.
