For an iodine clock reaction, the following experimental data was collected with respect to one of the reactants, the iodide ion,$I^-$
Trial
Concentration of $I^-$($mol dm^{-3}$)
Rate of reaction ($s^{-1}$)
1
0.2
0.40
2
0.1
0.19
3
0.3
0.61
What is the most likely order of the reaction with respect to iodide $I^-$?
A. 0.5
B. 1
C. 1.5
D. 2
参考答案: B
本题详细解析: B
Using trials 1 and 2, as the concentration of $I^-$doubles, the rate also doubles. Rate and [$I^-$]are therefore, directly proportional with an order of 1.
