The reaction is found to be first order in IO3−, first order in SO32−, and first order in H+. If [IO3−]=x, [SO32−]=y, and [H+]=z, what is the rate law for the reaction in terms of x, y, and z and the rate constant k?
It is worth knowing that the rate low can only be determined by experimentation only not by just balancing equations. So here we are told that all the reactants x , y and z are all first order. This is important because we use this as exponents. That is why the exponents of all the reactants will be 1.
