Q1
In aqueous solution, a student proposes the following mechanism for the reaction $\mathrm{S_2O_8^{2-}(aq)+2I^-(aq)\rightarrow I_2(aq)+2SO_4^{2-}(aq)}$:
Step 1 (slow): $\mathrm{S_2O_8^{2-}+I^-\rightarrow SO_4^{2-}+SO_4^-+I}$
Step 2 (fast): $\mathrm{SO_4^-+I^-\rightarrow SO_4^{2-}+I}$
Step 3 (fast): $\mathrm{I+I\rightarrow I_2}$
Which rate law is implied by the mechanism?
