3) Calculate the activation energy of the reaction using different versions of the Arrhenius equation. 4) Try and propose a mechanism for the reaction using the orders of reaction taking into account the iodine, propanone and sulphuric acid. Chemical Background: Iodopropanone is formed from a redox reaction between iodine and propanone which is irreversible. Hydrogen ions (H+) are used as a catalyst for the reactants and are disassociated from Sulphuric acid. During the reaction the iodine
