In aqueous solution, a student proposes the following mechanism for the reaction S2O82−(aq)+2I−(aq)→I2(aq)+2SO42−(aq)\mathrm{S_2O_8^{2-}(aq)+2I^-(aq)\rightarrow I_2(aq)+2SO_4^{2-}(aq)}: Step 1 (slow): S2O82−+I−→SO42−+SO4−+I\mathrm{S_2O_8^{2-}+I^-\rightarrow SO_4^{2-}+SO_4^-+I} Step 2 (fast): SO4−+I−→SO42−+I\mathrm{SO_4^-+I^-\rightarrow SO_4^{2-}+I} Step 3 (fast): I+I→I2\mathrm{I+I\rightarrow I_2} Which rate law is implied by the mechanism?
