If the reaction H2 + Br2 2HBr has a rate law that can be described by k[H2][Br2]1/2, which series of reactions is a possible mechanism for the reaction?
a. Br2 2Br (fast)
Br + H2 HBr + H (slow)
HBr + H + Br → 2HBr (fast)
b. Br2 2Br (slow)
Br + H2 HBr + H (fast)
HBr + H + Br 2HBr (fast)
c.Br2 2Br (slow)
2Br + H2 2HBr (fast)
d. Br2 2Br (fast)
Br + H2 HBr + H (fast)
HBr + H + Br 2HBr (slow)
thanks in advance :)
