The reaction shown below has the rate law: Rate = k[BrO₃^-][Br^-][H⁺]². BrO₃^-(aq) + 5 Br^-(aq) + 6 H⁺(aq) → 3 Br₂(aq) + 3 H₂O(l)
What is the order of reaction with respect to Br^-?

Question

The reaction shown below has the rate law: Rate = k[BrO₃^-][Br^-][H⁺]². BrO₃^-(aq)+ 5 Br^-(aq)+ 6 H⁺(aq)→ 3 Br₂(aq)+ 3 H₂O(l) What is the order of reaction with respect to Br^-?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate law includes the term [Br^-] to the power of 5, indicating that the reaction is fifth order with respect to Br^-. However, there is no direct dependence on Br₃^- in the rate law, so it must be a first order reaction with respect to this species.
