Question

The reaction is found to be first order in IO3−, first order in SO32−, and first order in H+. If [IO3−]=x, [SO32−]=y, and [H+]=z, what is the rate law for the reaction in terms of x, y, and z and the rate constant k?

Answer 1

rate = kxyz

Step-by-step explanation:

It is worth knowing that the rate low can only be determined by experimentation only not by just balancing equations. So here we are told that all the reactants x , y and z are all first order. This is important because we use this as exponents. That is why the exponents of all the reactants will be 1.

rate = kxyz
