    $0$
  • B
    $3$

The reaction of hydrogen and iodine monochloride is given as :
$H_{2(g)} + 2ICl_{(g)} \rightarrow 2HCl_{(g)} + I_{2(g)}$
This reaction is of first order with respect to $H_{2(g)}$ and $ICl_{(g)}$. The following mechanisms were proposed:
Mechanism $A$ :
$H_{2(g)} + 2ICl_{(g)} \rightarrow 2HCl_{(g)} + I_{2(g)}$
Mechanism $B$ :
$H_{2(g)} + ICl_{(g)} \rightarrow HCl_{(g)} + HI_{(g)}$ ; (slow)
$HI_{(g)} + ICl_{(g)} \rightarrow HCl_{(g)} + I_{2(g)}$ ; (fast)
Which of the above mechanism$(s)$ can be consistent with the given information about the reaction?

If the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is a first-order reaction,its rate law equation can be represented as:

Assertion : In rate law,unlike in the expression for equilibrium constants,the exponents for concentrations do not necessarily match the stoichiometric coefficients.
Reason : It is the mechanism and not the balanced chemical equation for the overall change that governs the reaction rate.
