Question

The bromination of aceton is acid –catalyzed.

 CH3COCH3     +      Br  + H+   --------->      CH3COCH2Br  +  2H+  + Br-

 

                               The rate of disappearance of bromine was measured for several different concentrations of acetone, bromine, and H+ ion at a certain temperature.

  • Write the rate law.
  • Find the rate constant.
  • Determine the half-life of the reaction if the [A]o = 0.50M ;  [B]o = 0.40 M;  [C]o = 0.6 M. ( Half-life is based on over all order of the reacaction)
