The bromination of acetone that occurs in acid solution is represented by the equation . Based on kinetic data showing the rate is independent of , what is the rate equation?

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Kinetic data for acid-catalyzed bromination of acetone shows that the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of acetone and the acid catalyst, but is independent of the concentration of bromine (zero order with respect to ). Therefore, does not appear in the rate law.
