Could you reduce the concentration of a reactant by one half in Experiments 2-4 and achieve the same purpose as doubling their concentration? Why or why not?

(I want to say yes, because the ratios will still be the same. Would that be right?)

Data for Experiments 1-4:

Exp 1: 4.0 M acetone=10 ml, 1.0 M HCl=10 ml, 0.0050 M I2= 10 ml, Distilled H20=20 ml

Exp 1: 4.0 M acetone=20 ml, 1.0 M HCl=10 ml, 0.0050 M I2= 10 ml, Distilled H20=10 ml

Exp 1: 4.0 M acetone=10 ml, 1.0 M HCl=20 ml, 0.0050 M I2= 10 ml, Distilled H20=10 ml

Exp 1: 4.0 M acetone=10 ml, 1.0 M HCl=10 ml, 0.0050 M I2= 20 ml, Distilled H20=10 ml

I don't see anything but numbers for concentrations; i.e., no numbers for rate constant or times. Nor anything about how the experiment was conducted.
