The bromination of acetone that occurs in acid solution is represented by this equation CH ₃ COCH ₃( aq )+ Br ₂( aq ) CH ₃ COCH ₂ Br ( aq )+ H ⁺( aq )+ Br ⁻( aq ) These kinetic data were obtained for given reaction concentrations Initial concentrations, M Based on these data, the rate equation is
Options
- ARate = k [ CH ₃ COCH ₃ ] [ Br ₂ ] [ H ⁺ ]
- BRate = k [ CH ₃ COCH ₃ ] [ H ⁺ ]
- CRate = k [ CH = COCH ₃ ] [ Br ₂ ]
- DRate = k [ CH ₃ COCH ₃ ] [ Br ₂ ] [ H ⁺ ]^2
Correct answer
B. Rate = k [ CH ₃ COCH ₃ ] [ H ⁺ ]
Step-by-step solution
In experiment (1) and (2), rate doesn't depend on the concentration of Br ₂ . So, rate expression will not include [ Br ₂ ] .
