Question:
You want to test the following proposed mechanism for the oxidation of HBr.
You find that the rate is first order with respect to HBr and to O2. You cannot detect HOBr among the products.
(a) If the proposed mechanism is correct, which must be the rate-determining step?
(b) Can you prove the mechanism from these observations?
(c) Can you disprove the mechanism from these observations?
