Given below is the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in alkaline medium, which is catalysed by iodide ions : 2H₂O₂ → 2H₂O + O₂ (I⁻, alkaline medium). The above reaction takes place in two steps : Step I : H₂O₂ + I⁻ → H₂O + IO⁻ (slow). Step II : H₂O₂ + IO⁻ → H₂O + I⁻ + O₂. Molecularity of Step I and Step II is :
The rate of reaction A + B → Products, is given by the equation r = k[A] [B]. If B is taken in large excess, the order of reaction would be :
