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?

Joaquin Skinner · Answer 1

rate = kxyz

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
