ClO- + I- → IO- + Cl-
1) What are the names of these ions?
is it "The hypochlorite ion reacts with iodide ion to form iodate ion with chloride ion" ?
2) Write the general rate law (using the letters k for the rate constant, and n and m for the reaction
orders).
- Is it "rate=k[ClO]m[I]n
The IO- is hypoiodite ion. Since you named ClO- correctly, I'm surprised you miss
missed the IO- because that's the same system.
#2 looks ok.
1) The names of the ions in the reaction are as follows:
- ClO-: Hypochlorite ion
- I-: Iodide ion
- IO-: Iodate ion
- Cl-: Chloride ion
So, the correct statement would be: "The hypochlorite ion reacts with the iodide ion to form the iodate ion with the chloride ion."
2) The general rate law for the reaction can be expressed as:
rate = k[ClO]m[I]n
Here, k represents the rate constant, and m and n represent the reaction orders for ClO- and I- respectively. The specific values for m and n would need to be determined experimentally for this particular reaction.
