Question
The bromination of acetone that occurs in acid solution is represented by this equation.
CH3COCH3(aq) + Br2(aq)  $ \to $
     CH3COCH2Br(aq) + H+(aq) + Br$-$(aq)
These kinetic data were obtained for given reaction concentrations.
Initial concentrations, M
[CH3COCH3 [Br2] [H+]
0.30 0.05 0.05
0.30 0.10 0.05
0.30 0.10 0.10
0.40 0.05 0.20

Initial rate, disappearance of Br2, Ms$-$1
5.7$ \times $10$-$5
5.7$ \times $10$-$5
1.2$ \times $10$-$4
3.1$ \times $10$-$4

Based on these data, the rate equation is
Rate = k[CH3COCH3][Br2][H+]2
Rate = k[CH3COCH3][Br2][H+]
Rate = k[CH3COCH3][H+]
Rate = k[CH3COCH3][Br2]
