The reaction between selenious acid and iodide ion in acidic solution is:
H2SeO3 + 6I-+ 4 H+ --> Se(s) + 2I3- + 3H2O
The initial reaction rates were measured at 273 K at a variety of concentrations, as indicated in the following table, in mol/L. These initial rates were evaluated from plots of H2SeO3 vs time. Determine the form of the rate law. Note that this rate law only works for low concentrations of I3- .
