Chapter 15, Problem 67E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The rate law for the following reaction should be determined from the given mechanism:

  ${\text{I}}^{-}({\text{aq) + OCI}}^{-}\text{(aq) }\to {\text{ IO}}^{-}({\text{aq) + Cl}}^{-}(\text{aq)}$

Concept Introduction: An expression used to give the relationship between rate constant and the rate of reaction along with the concentrations of the reactants raised to some power which are experimentally determined is known as rate law.
