Hypochlorite ion, used as the chlorinating agent in swimming pools, can decompose exothermically, in rare occasions even causing ires. he principal decomposition mechanism is believed to be
a. Find the steady-state concentration of ClO- 2 ion.
b. Use this to obtain a differential (not integrated) rate law for the concentration of ClO-3 , such that only [ClO- ] and t appear as variables.
