H3AsO4 + 3I−+ 2 H3O+ H3AsO3 + I3− + H2O
The oxidation of iodide ions by arsenic acid in acidic aqueous solution occurs according to the stoichiometry shown above. The experimental rate law of the reaction is: Rate = k [H3AsO4] [I−] [H3O+]
25. What is the order of the reaction with respect to I−?
(A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 5 (E) 6

The order of the reaction with respect to I− is 1.

The rate law shows the order of a given reaction in each of the reactants. For the reaction; H3AsO4 + 3I− + 2 H3O+ > H3AsO3 + I3− + H2O, we have the rate law; Rate = k [H3AsO4] [I−] [H3O+].

The interpretation of this is that the reaction is first order with respect to each of the reactants. Therefore, the order of the reaction with respect to I− is 1.

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, the order of reaction with respect to one species is the exponent of the species in the rate law.

The experimental rate law of the reaction is:

That means:

In conclusion, the order of reaction with respect to   is 1.
