4. Use the rate-law expression you determined for Data Table 5 to answer the following questions.
a. If the concentration of I– was doubled, how would that affect the reaction rate?
b. If the concentration of H2O2 was halved, how would that affect the reaction rate?
c. If the concentrations of I– and H2O2 were both doubled, how would that affect the reaction rate?
d. If the concentration of H+ (HCl) was doubled, how would that affect the reaction rate?
