The iodide ion reacts with hypochlorite ion (the active ingredient in chlorine bleaches) in the following way: OCl - + I - ¡OI - + Cl - . This rapid reaction gives the following rate data:

[OCl₄^-] (M) [I^-] (M) Initial Rate (M,s)

1.5 * 10-3 1.5 * 10-3

1.36 * 10-4 3.0 * 10-3 1.5 * 10-3 2.72 * 10-4

1.5 * 10-3 3.0 * 10-3 2.72 * 10-4

(b) Calculate the rate constant with proper units.
