The oxidation of iodide ions by arsenic acid in acidic aqueous solution occurs according to the net reaction H3AsO4 + 3I – + 2 H3O +→ H3AsO3 + I3– + H2O. The experimental rate law for this reaction is
Rate = k [H3AsO4] [I–] [H3O+].
According to the rate law for the reaction, an increase in the concentration of hydronium ion has what effect on this reaction?
1 answer
The rate is increased and the equilibrium is shifted to the right.
