5 Questions
What is the rate law expression for the reaction described in the text?
The rate law expression is given by: $Rate = k [MnO_4^-]^a [ClO_3^-]^b [H^+]^c$.
How is the order of MnO4- determined in the reaction?
The order of MnO_4^- is determined by using the data in experiments (1) and (3) and taking the ratio between the rate laws in those experiments.
Why is the order of ClO3- determined using data from experiments (1) and (3)?
The order of ClO_3^- is determined using data from experiments (1) and (3) because the initial concentrations of MnO_4^- and H^+ are constant in those experiments.
What is the order of MnO4- in the reaction?
The order of MnO_4^- is second order, as determined from the data in the experiments.
What is the order of ClO3- in the reaction?
The order of ClO_3^- is first order, as determined from the data in the experiments.
