Question
The rate law for the oxidation of iodide to iodine by hydrogen peroxide in weakly acidic solution is studied by allowing the reaction to proceed in the presence of a fixed amount of sodium thiosulfate (which rapidly reduces iodine to iodide) and measuring the time t to the first appearance of a blue color due to the starch-iodine complex. The following data are obtained on solutions made with the indicated volumes of reactant solutions and enough water to give a total volume of 10.0 mL. What are the reaction orders in H2O2, I–, and H+?
H2O2(aq) + 2 I–(aq) + 2 H+(aq) → I2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)
