The reaction of hydrogen and iodine monochloride is given as:

{H}_2({~g})+2 {ICl}({g}) \longrightarrow 2 {HCl}({g})+{I}_2({~g})

The reaction is of first order with respect to

{H}_2({~g})

and

{ICI}({g})

, following mechanisms were proposed.

Mechanism A:

{H}_2({~g})+2 {ICl}({g}) \longrightarrow 2 {HCl}({g})+{I}_2({~g})

Mechanism B:

\begin{aligned} & {H}_2({~g})+{ICl}({g}) \longrightarrow {HI}({g}) ; \text { slow } \\ & {HI}({g})+{ICl}({g}) \longrightarrow {HCl}({g})+{I}_2({~g}) ; \text { fast } \end{aligned}

Which of the above mechanism(s) can be consistent with the given information about the reaction?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

B only

Option D (B only) is correct because mechanism B's slow step matches the given rate law, while mechanism A is a single-step reaction that doesn't align with the rate law.
