Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyzing Question 14

To determine why the rate of reaction increases with the concentration of reactant molecules, we need to consider the factors that influence reaction rates. The key factor here is the frequency of molecular collisions. As the concentration of reactants increases, the number of molecules in a given volume increases, leading to more frequent collisions and thus a higher reaction rate.

Final Answer for Question 14

\(\boxed{\text{the frequency of molecular collisions increases}}\)

Step 2: Analyzing Question 15

To identify intermediates in the given reaction mechanism, we need to look for species that are produced in one step and consumed in a subsequent step.

  1. In the first step, \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2} + \mathrm{I}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{HOI} + \mathrm{OH}^{-}\), \(\mathrm{HOI}\) and \(\mathrm{OH}^{-}\) are produced.
  2. In the second step, \(\mathrm{OH}^{-} + \mathrm{H}^{+} \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\), \(\mathrm{OH}^{-}\) is consumed.
  3. In the third step, \(\mathrm{HOI} + \mathrm{H}^{+} + \mathrm{I}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{I}_{2} + \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\), \(\mathrm{HOI}\) is consumed.

Thus, \(\mathrm{HOI}\) and \(\mathrm{OH}^{-}\) are intermediates because they are produced and then consumed in the reaction mechanism.

Final Answer for Question 15

\(\boxed{\text{HOI and } \mathrm{OH}^{-}}\)
