Write the rate law for the following proposed mechanism for the decomposition of IBr to I2 and Br2.
IBr(g)---------->I(g) + Br(g) (fast)
IBr(g) + Br(g)-------->I(g) + Br2(g) (slow)
I(g) + I(g)--------->I2(g) (fast)
The answer is R=k[IBr]^2. I don't know where this answer comes from. Can anyone please explain it to me step by step? Thank you for your help!
