S2O82- (aq) + 3I- (aq) 2SO42- (g) + I3- (g)

Rate = k [S2O82-]m [I-]n

From experiments 1, 2 and 3, we have,

4.54 Ms-1 = k(0.30)m(0.42)n ----------(1)

6.65 Ms-1 = k(0.44)m(0.42)n ----------(2)

3.33 Ms-1 = k(0.44)m(0.21)n ----------(1)

By dividing equation 2 by equation 1

6.65 𝑀𝑠 −1 𝑘(0.44)𝑚 (0.42)𝑛

=
4.54 𝑀𝑠 −1 𝑘(0.30)𝑚 (0.42)𝑛

1.46 = (1.46)m x 1

m=1

or order w. r to [S2O82-] is 1

By dividing equation 2 by equation 3

6.65 𝑀𝑠 −1 𝑘(0.44)𝑚 (0.42)𝑛

=
3.33 𝑀𝑠 −1 𝑘(0.44)𝑚 (0.21)𝑛

2 = (2)n x 1

n=1

or order w. r to [I-] is 1

Therefore, rate = k [S2O82-] [I-]

Now, using experiment 1
