Asked by Michael
Chlorine dioxide decomposes to chlorine and oxygen according to the following mechanism:
ClO 2 → ClO + O (fast)
ClO 2 + O → ClO 3 (fast)
ClO 3 + ClO → Cl 2 + 2 O 2 (slow)
(a) What is the overall reaction?
(b) What is the molecularity of each step?
(c) Write the rate equation for the rate-determining step.
(d) What are the intermediates in this reaction? (If none, write “none.”)
a)I got 2CL02--->CL2+2O2
B)BIMOLECULAR for all of them
c)K[CLO]?
d)O,ClO3,CLO
PLEASE let me know of my answers are correct
