Rate Laws (Section)

The iodide ion reacts with hypochlorite ion (the active ingredient in chlorine bleaches) in the following way: OCl- + I - .OI- + Cl- . This rapid reaction gives the following rate data:

[OCl_] (M)

[I_] (M)

Initial Rate (M/s)

1.5 × 10-3

1.5 × 10-3

1.36 × 10-4

3.0 × 10-3

1.5 × 10-3

2.72 × 10-4

1.5 × 10-3

3.0 × 10-3

2.72 × 10-4

(a) Write the rate law for this reaction.

(b) Calculate the rate constant with proper units.

(c) Calculate the rate when [OCl-] = 2.0 × 10-3 M and [I -] = 5.0 × 10-4 M.
