Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to determine the rate law graphically from the rate of disappearance and the x y values also the specific rate constant (k). Activation energy was also determined‚ and the effect of catalyst was evaluated in the reaction between peroxodisulphate ion S2O82-‚ and iodide ion‚ I-. S2O82-(aq) + 3 I-(aq) --> 2 SO42-(aq) + I3(aq) The general expression for the rate law‚ given this overall reaction‚ is: rate of disappearance of S2O82- = k[S2O82-]m[I-]n Chemical
