The Reaction Below Is Second Order in ClO₂ and First

question 131

Short Answer

The reaction below is second order in ClO₂ and first order in OH^-.When the concentration of ClO₂ is 0.020 M and the concentration of OH^- is 0.10 M,the initial rate of reaction is 8.00 × 10^-4 M/s.What is the rate constant,k,for this reaction?
2 ClO₂(aq)+ 2 OH^-(aq)→ ClO₃^-(aq)+ ClO₂^-(aq)+ H₂O(l)
