Question

Hydrogen peroxide and the iodide ion react in acidic solution as follows:

H2O2(aq) + 3I^- (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq) =====➔I ^-(₃aq) + 2H2O(l)

The kinetics of this reaction were studied by following the decay of the concentration of H₂O₂ and constructing plots of ln[H₂O₂] versus time. All the plots were linear and all solutions had [H2O2]_o = 8.0 x10^-4 mol/L. The slopes of these straight lines depended on the initial concentrations of I^- and H^-. The results follow:

[I^_]0	[H⁺]0	Slope
(mol/L)	(mol/L)	(/min)
0.1000	0.0400	-0.120
0.3000	0.0400	-0.360
0.4000	0.0400	-0.480
0.0750	0.0200	-0.0760
0.0750	0.0800	-0.118
0.0750	0.1600	-0.174

The rate law for this reaction has the form;

Rate = -d[H₂O₂]/dt = (k₁ +k₂[H⁺]) [I^-] ^m[H₂O₂]ⁿ

a. Specify the orders of this reaction with respect to [H2O2] and [I^-].

b. Calculate the values of the rate constants k1 and k

c. What reason could there be for the two-term dependence of the rate on [H⁺]?

Hydrogen peroxide and the iodide ion react in acidic solution as follows:
H,O,(aq) + 31'(aq) + 2H*(aq) - I, (aq) + 2H,O(1)
