The iodide ion reacts with hypochlorite ion (the active ingredient in chlorine bleaches) in the following way:

OCl−+I−→OI−+Cl−.

This rapid reaction gives the following rate data:

[OCl−](M) [I]−(M) Rate (M/s)
1.5×10^−3 1.5×10^−3 1.36×10^−4
3.0×10^−3 1.5×10^−3 2.72×10^−4
1.5×10^−3 3.0×10^−3 2.72×10^−4

a. Write the rate law for this reaction.
b. Calculate the rate constant with proper units.
c. Calculate the rate when [OCl-]= 1.8×10^3 M and [I-]= 6.0×10^4 M .

a) The rate law for this reaction:

b)The rate constant of the reaction is .

c)The rate of the reaction at given concentration will be .

Explanation:

a) Rate law of the reaction is given by :

1) Rate of the reaction when and .

..[1]

2) Rate of the reaction when and .

..[2]

3) Rate of the reaction when and .

..[3]

[1] ÷ [2]

On solving the equation we get value of x :

x = 1

[1] ÷ [3]

On solving the equation we get value of y :

y = 1

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.
