Assignment:
The equation for the reaction between iodide and bromate in acidic solution is
6I-(aq) + BrO3-(aq) + 6H+(aq) ---> 3I2(aq) + Br-(aq) + 3H2O
The rate of the reaction is followed by measuring the appearance of I2. The following data are obtained.
[I-] [BrO3-] [H+] Initial Rate (mol/L x s)
0.0020 0.0080 0.020 8.89 x 10-5
0.0040 0.0080 0.020 1.78 x 10-4
0.0020 0.0160 0.020 1.78 x 10-4
0.0020 0.0080 0.040 3.56 x 10-4
0.0015 0.0040 0.030 7.51 x 10-5
Q1. What is the order of the reaction with respect to each reactant?
Q2. Write the rate expression for the reaction
Q3. Calculate k.
Q4. What is the hydrogen ion concentration when the rate is 5.00 x 10-4 mol/Lxs and [I-] = 1/2[BrO3-]= 0.0075M?
