A scientist already determined the rate of the reaction is first order with respect to I - . Determine the rate law and the value of k for the following reaction using the data provided. Hint, you only need to find the reaction order for S2O82⁻ because it is first order for I - . After you find the reaction order for S2O82⁻ you need to calculate k. S2O82⁻ (aq) + 3 I⁻ (aq) → 2 SO42⁻ (g) + I3⁻ (aq) [S2O82⁻ ]i (M) [I⁻ ]i (M) Initial Rate (M -1 s -1 ) 0.30 0.42 4.54 0.44 0.42 6.65 Rate = 120 M-2s-1 [S2O82⁻]2[I⁻] Rate = 195 M-3s-1 [S2O82⁻]2[I⁻] Rate = 86 M-2s-1 [S2O82⁻][I⁻] Rate = 23 M-1/2s-1 [S2O82⁻][I⁻] Rate = 36 M-1s-1 [S2O82⁻][I⁻]
