Question

A mechanism for the gas phase reaction of fluorine with chlorine dioxide that is consistent with the observed rate law is: step slow: F2+CIO, FCIO, + F step 2 fast: F+CIO, FCIO, (1) What is the equation for the overall reaction? Use the smallest integer coefficients possible. If a box is not needed, leave it blank. (2) Which species acts as a catalyst? Enter formula. If none, leave box blank (3) Which species acts as a reaction intermediate? Enter formula. If none, leave box blank (4) Complete the rate law for the overall reaction that is consistent with this mechanis (Use the form k[A]"[B]"..., where 'l' is understood (so don't write it for m, n etc.) Rate =

Thus no catalyst is used. 3 Intersmideate & It is the specie that form during One step of the reaction and gets consumed in the next step. Here ® is formed in the Ost step and gets consumed in and step. Thees, Jutermediate is El.
