Hydrogen (H2) in the acidic solution is produced by
bonding two hydrogen atoms adsorbed on the surface of the metal
electrode as follows.

Here, M(s) denotes a metal atom on the electrode
surface, and M-H(surface) denotes an adsorbed
hydrogen atom. Verify that the speed determination step is repeated
twice (v=2).
