READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING:


Recall that since BrO3- and H+ are held constant, the rate law takes on the
following form:
Rate = B[I-]i

where "B" is the pseudo rate constant that includes k, [H+], and [BrO3-].
Therefore, a plot of log(Rate) vs. log([I-]) (y-axis vs x-axis) will yield a straight
line with a slope equal to i, the order of the reaction with respect to I-.

Place your plot relating to the reaction order for I - here, making it large enough to cover this box
(so that it is easy to read).
Refer to the text box above for hints about what to plot.
FOR FULL CREDIT:
- plot the correct data on each axis
- correctly label each axis and format the axis such that the data being plotted fills the majority of the graph (axes do NOT need to
start at 0)
- appropriately title the plot
- use Excel to add a trendline for the data...be sure to choose the trendline options that "display equation on chart" and "display
R-squared on chart"

- appropriately title the plot

II: Crystal Violet-Hydroxide Reaction

READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE DATA ANALYSIS FOR PART II OF THIS
o EXPERIMENT:
r For Part II of the lab, you will first evaluate the data for the CV+ standards to obtain a value for molar absorptivity () that you will then
d use to convert Absorbance data to [CV+] (Remember: A=bc). You will then evaluate the concentration data as a function of time
e using the integrated rate law method of determining the orders with respecto to each reactant and the rate contant for the reaction at
r this temperature.
s You will plot all of the data for Run 1. However, for the calibration curve, the data in Runs 2-4, and the determination of the order
with respect to OH-, INSTEAD OF CREATING ADDITIONAL PLOTS, WE WILL USE A SHORTCUT THAT EMPLOYS FUNCTIONS

f WITHIN EXCEL TO DETERMINE THE SLOPE AND Y-INTERCEPT FOR A SET OF DATA. To use these functions, click on the cell
r in which you want the result to appear, G339 for the slope and G340 for the y-intercept, and enter the following:
o =SLOPE(D337:D340,C337:C340)
m
=INTERCEPT(D337:D340,C337:C340)

y
D337:D340 represent the cells that contain data for the y-axis (Absorbance) and C337:C340 represent data for the x-axis. This is a
o short cut to creating an actual plot of the data and generating the trendline equation of y = mx + b.
u
r You will create three plots on page 9, using the data from Run 1, to determine the order of the reaction with respect to CV +. Once
you know the order of the reaction with respect to CV+, you will perform the necessary "slope" functions for the other three runs to
c determine k' for each run. When you get to the section for determining the order of the reaction with respect to OH-, you will also
need to use the "intercept" function mentioned above.
