Iodine reacts with a ketone in aqueous solution to give an iodoketone. The stoichiometric equation is: I2 + ketone -> iodoketone + H+ + I-

The rate of reaction can be measured by measuring the disappearance of I2 with time. The data for initial rates and initial concentrations are as follows:

(a) Find the order of the rate of reaction with respect to I2, ketone and H+

(b) Write a differential equation expressing your findings in part (a) and calculate the average rate constant

(c) How long will it take to synthesize 10^-4 mol/L of the iodoketone starting with 0.5 mol/L of ketone and 0.001 mol/L of I2, if the H+ concentration is held constant at 0.1 mol/L?

(d) What will happen to the reaction if we double the concentration of ketone? Or iodine? Or H+?
