Before beginning this experiment in the laboratory, you should be able to answer the following questions" What factors influence the rate of a chemical reaction? what is the general form of a rate law? What is the order of reaction with respect to A and B for a reaction that obeys the rate law rate = k[A]^2[B]^3? Write the chemical equations involved in this experiment and show that the rate of disappearance of [S_2O_8^2-] is proportional to the rate of appearance of the blue-black color of the starch-iodine complex. It is found for the reaction A + B rightarrow C that doubling the concentration of either A or B quadruples the rate of the reaction. Write the rate law for this reaction.
