Consider the following data concerning the equation: H2O2 + 3I– + 2H+ → I3– + 2H2O [H2O2] [I–] [H+] rate I 0.100 M 5.00 × 10–4 M 1.00 × 10–2 M 0.137 M/sec II. 0.100 M 1.00 × 10–3 M 1.00 × 10–2 M 0.268 M/sec III. 0.200 M 1.00 × 10–3 M 1.00 × 10–2 M 0.542 M/sec IV. 0.400 M 1.00 × 10–3 M 2.00 × 10–2 M 1.084 M/sec Two mechanisms are proposed: I. II. Which mechanism and which step as the rate determining step would best fit the data?
