Even though the reaction order for H

is slightly larger than that of H

, they are both
approximately equal to 1, which means that both have about the same impact on the reaction
half-time. This makes sense since slightly dilute acidic solutions are needed to ensure that
H

does not decompose and thus will be able to oxidize HCrO

the reaction mechanism, this means that a reasonable reaction mechanism would have to
include both the participation of H+ and H
