Which step in this reaction mechanism for the iodination of acetone is the rate determining step and what are the rate laws for each of these elementary steps?

In your report, you will evaluate the following reaction mechanism. Is it consistent with your experimentally determined rate law? What is the rate-limiting step? Write rate laws for the elementary steps, and use them to explain your reasoning.
