In aqueous solution, hypobromite ion, BrO-, reacts to produce bromate ion, BrO3-, and bromide ion, Br-, according to the following chemical equation. 3 BrO-(aq) → BrO3-(aq) + 2 Br-(aq) A plot of 1/[BrO-] vs. time is linear and the slope is equal to 0.056 M-1s-1. If the initial concentration of BrO- is 1.0 M, how long (in seconds) will it take one-half of the BrO- ion to react?

Question

In aqueous solution, hypobromite ion, BrO-, reacts to produce bromate ion, BrO3-, and bromide ion, Br-, according to the following chemical equation.

3 BrO-(aq) → BrO3-(aq) + 2 Br-(aq)

A plot of 1/[BrO-] vs. time is linear and the slope is equal to 0.056 M-1s-1. If the initial concentration of BrO- is 1.0 M, how long (in seconds) will it take one-half of the BrO- ion to react?
