The bromination of acetone is acid catalyzed: CH3COCH3 +Br2 --> CH3COCH2Br + H^(+)+Br ^(-) The rate of dissappearance of bromine was measured for several different concentrations of acetone, bromine and H+ ions at a certain temperature.
[CH3COCH3] [Br2] [H+] Rate of Dissapearance of Br2(M/s) 0.30 0.050 0.050 5.7 x 10 ^-5 0.30 0.10 0.050 5.7 x 10 ^-5 0.30 0.050 0.10 1.2x 10 ^-4 0.40 0.050 0.20 3.1 x 10 ^-4 0.40 0.050 0.050 7.6 x 10 ^-5
whats is the rate law of the reaction and the rate constant
Consider 2 trials where the concentration of only 1 of the reactants is changing, and the other two are held constant. Compare how the concentration affects the reaction. E.g. If the concentration of the reactant doubles and the rate also doubles, then the order (exponent) for that reactant is 1.
