6. Consider the decomposition of perbenzoic acid in water: 2 C6H5CO3(aq) → 2 C6H5COOH(aq) + O₂(g). The reaction may proceed according to the following mechanism: C6H5CO3HC6H5CO¾¯ + H* C6H5CO3H + C6H5CO3 O₂ + C6H5CO₂ + С6H5COOH Assuming that the second step is rate-limiting, and the first step in the reaction satisfies the pre-equilibrium condition, determine the rate of formation of O₂. Assume the pH remains constant throughout the reaction. Would the rate of reaction increase or decrease with a more acidic pH?
