The mechanism of a reaction is shown below. a) What is the overall reaction? b) Which compounds are intermediates? c) Predict the rate law based on this mechanism d) What is the overall order of the reaction? \[ \begin{array}{ll} \mathrm{HOOH}+\mathrm{I}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{HOI}+\mathrm{OH}^{-} & \text {(slow) } \\ \mathrm{HOI}+\mathrm{I}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{I}_{2}+\mathrm{OH}^{-} & \text {(fast) } \\ 2 \mathrm{OH}^{-}+2 \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+} \rightarrow 4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} & \text { (fast) } \end{array} \]
