Question

Iodide Ion is oxidized to hypoiodite ion IO- by hypochlorite ion ClO- in basic solution. The equation is

I- + ClO- --- IO- + Cl-

Initial concentraition
I- ClO- OH-
exp 1. 0.010 0.020 0.010
exp 2. 0.020 0.010 0.010
exp 3. 0.010 0.010 0.010
exp 4. 0.010 0.010 0.020

intial rate (mol/(L*s))
12.2 x 10^-2
12.2 x 10^-2
6.1 x 10^-2
3.0 x 10^-2

Find the rate law and the value of the rate constant.

I got 610 l/mol*s

Answer 1

it is 6.1 second inverse (s-)
