A)  Rate = k[H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>] B)  Rate = k[H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>]<sup>2</sup> C)  Rate = k[H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>][I<sup>-</sup>] D)  Rate = k[H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>][OI<sup>-</sup>] E)  Rate = k[H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>]<sup>2</sup>[I<sup>-</sup>]/[H<sub>2</sub>O] ) + O2(g) in the presence of I-(aq) is proposed to be Step 1: H2O2(aq) + I-(aq) \rightarrow H2O( 11eff76a_6ab5_5f7b_a45e_c74b4a506edc_TB3833_00 ) + OI-(aq)
(slow)
Step 2: H2O2(aq) + OI-(aq) \rightarrow H2O( 11eff76a_6ab5_5f7b_a45e_c74b4a506edc_TB3833_00 ) + O2(g) + I-(aq)
(fast)
What is the rate law for the overall reaction?


A) Rate = k[H2O2]
B) Rate = k[H2O2]2
C) Rate = k[H2O2][I-]
D) Rate = k[H2O2][OI-]
E) Rate = k[H2O2]2[I-]/[H2O]
