Question

The reaction: I- (aq) + OCl- (aq) à IO- (aq) + Cl- (aq) was studied by using the initial rate method, and the following data were obtained.

                         [I-]o (mol/L)       [OCl-]o (mol/L)                initial rate (mol/L-sec)

trial 1              0.1800                   0.1200                                 0.0792

trial 2              0.0900                   0.1200                                 0.0396

trial 3              0.0450                   0.0600                                 0.00990

trial 4              0.3600                   0.0600                                 0.0792

If the rate law expression for this reaction is Rate = k [I-]x[OCl-]y. Determine the value of the rate constant k. (3 significant figures) No units are needed.
