The reaction described by H2(g) + I2(g)  yields 2HI(g)

has an experimentally determined rate law of  

rate of reaction= k [H2] [I2]

some proposed mechanisms for this reaction are:

Mechanism a.

1. H2(g) + I2(g)  yields (k1 on top of the arrow) 2HI (g)   (one step reaction)

Mechanism b.

(1) I2(g) equilbrium arrow (k1 on top of the arrow, and k-1 on the bottom of the arrow ) 2I (g)   (fast equlibrium )

(2) H2(g) + 2I(g)  yields (k2 on top of the arrow)  2HI(g)  (slow)

 

Mechanism c.

(1) I2(g) equlibrium arrow   (k1 on top of the arrow, k-1 on the bottom of the arrow) 2I(g)

(2) I(g) +H2(g)  equlibrium arrow (k2 on the top and k-2 on the bottom of the equilibrium arrow)  yields H2I(g) (Fast equlibrium)

(3) H2I(g)  yields ( k3 on top of the arrow)   HI(g) + I(g)  (slow)

 

a) which of these mechanisms are consistent with the observed rate law?

mechanism a

mechanism b

mechanism c

 

b) in 1967 J.H Sullivan showed that this reaction was dramtically  catalyzed by light when the energy of the light was sufficent to break the I-I bond in an I2 molecule. Which mechanism(s) are consistent with both the rate law and this additional observation?

Mechanism a

Mechanism b

mechanism c
