Question

A mechanism was developed to explain the kinetics of the reaction;
OCl– + H2O <-------> HOCl + OH– (fast equilibrium)
I– + HOCl --------> HOI + Cl– (slow)
OH– + HOI ------------> H2O + OI– (fast)
Does the rate expression of this mechanism support or refute the data?
Is there a catalyst for this reaction? Identify it
Is/are there a reaction intermediate(s)? Identify it
