Question

In class we watched a demonstration where the color of the solution oscillated between orange and blue. This is a very complicated reaction with multiple pathways the reaction can take. One pathway can be described as follows: H_20_2 + 3 I^- + 2 H^+ rightarrow I3^- + 2 H_2 O Step 1. H_2 0_2 + H^+ I ^- rightarrow H_3 0_2+Step 2. H302+ + r - H20 + HOI Step 3. HOI + I^- rightarrow OH^- + _I2 Step 4. OH^- + H^+ rightarrow H_2 0 Step 5. I_2 + I^- rightarrow I3^- Which of the following statements about this proposed mechanism is false based on the information given Intermediate species are found in the valleys of the reaction coordinate diagram . The second peak of the reaction coordinate diagram will be the highest peak. The activation energy for the forward reaction will be the energy from the reactants to the highest peak of the reaction coordinate diagram The reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction will have five peaks All steps after the highest peak WILL NOT be involve

Explanation / Answer

Answer the second peak of the reaction coordinate diagram will be the highest peak

step 1 and 4 reactions are very fast reactions because of in this reaction ions are participated
