The bromination of acetone is acid-catalyzed:

The rate of disappearance of bromine was measured for several different concentrations of acetone, bromine, and H+ ions at a certain temperature:

	[CH,COCH3] (M)	[Br2] (M)	[H+] (M)	Rate of disappearance of Br2 (M/s)
(1)	0.30	0.050	0.050	5.7 × 10−5
(2)	0.30	0.10	0.050	5.7 × 10−5
(3)	0.30	0.050	0.10	1.2 × 10−4
(4)	0.40	0.050	0.20	3.1 × 10−4
(5)	0.40	0.050	0.050	7.6 × 10−5

(a) What is the rate law for the reaction? (b) Determine the rate constant, (c) The following mechanism has been proposed for the reaction:

Show that the rate law deduced from the mechanism is consistent with that shown in part (a).
