Question
The iodination of acetone is irreversible and has a rate law of Rate = k[CH3COCH3][H+].
CH3COCH3(aq) + I3–(aq) ® CH3COCH2I(aq) + H+(aq) + 2 I–(aq)
When the reaction is carried out with an initial concentration of I3– much smaller than those of either acetone or H+, it is observed that the yellow color due to I3– fades over time, finally disappearing abruptly at a time t. How does t depend on the initial concentrations?
Dependence on: [CH3COCH3] [H+] [I3–]
