Question
Show that the following two mechanisms give the same net overall reaction.
Step 1
Mechanism 1: \begin{align*} \text{Cl}^- + \text{H}_2\text{O} &\rightarrow \text{HOCl} + \text{OH}^- \\ \text{HOCl} + \text{I}^- &\rightarrow \text{HOI} + \text{Cl}^- \\ \text{HOI} + \text{OH}^- &\rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O} + Show more…

Show that the following two mechanisms give the same net overall reaction. Mechanism 1 $\mathrm{OCl}^{-}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{HOCl}+\mathrm{OH}^{-}$ $\mathrm{HOCl}+\mathrm{I}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{HOI}+\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ $\mathrm{HOI}+\mathrm{OH}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{OI}^{-}$ Mechanism 2 $\begin{aligned} \mathrm{OCl}^{-}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow & \mathrm{HOCl}+\mathrm{OH}^{-} \\ \mathrm{I}^{-}+\mathrm{HOCl} & \longrightarrow \mathrm{ICl}+\mathrm{OH}^{-} \\ \mathrm{ICl}+2 \mathrm{OH}^{-} & \longrightarrow \mathrm{OI}^{-}+\mathrm{Cl}^{-}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \end{aligned}$
