Problem 11 For many years, the reaction H_(2)(g)+I_(2)(g)rarr2HI(g) and its reverse were assumed to be elementary bimolecular reactions. However, J.H. Sullivan (J. Chem. Phys. suggested that the following mechanism for the reaction, originally provided by M. Bodenstein (Z. Physik. Chem. 29,56(1898)) provides a better explanation of the experimental results:(1) I_(2)⇌I+I,k_(1),k_(1)^(')(2) I+I+H_(2)rarrHI+HIquadk_(2)Obtain the expression for the rate of formation of HI based on this m ...
