Page 3. (12 points) The proposed mechanism for the formation of hydrogen bromide can be written in a simplified form as: Elementary step 1: Brz(g) →→→ 2 Br(g) fast equilibrium Elementary step 2: Br(g) + H₂(g) → HBr(g) + H(g) slow Elementary step 3: H(g) + Br(g) → HBr(g) fast a. What is the overall reaction ? Br₂(g) + H₂(g) → 2HBr (g) b. What is the rate law for this reaction? The rate law is (HBr) (Br)² (must use slow) (B₁y) (Br) (M₂) -8
