Question

Chloromethane reacts with iodide ion to yield iodomethane and chloride ion.

CH₃Cl + I^– → CH₃I + Cl^–

A way to determine the rate of the reaction of chloromethane with iodide ion is to measure the disappearance of I^– from the solution. Suppose that the concentration of I^– was 0.29 mol I^–/L at the start of the reaction. At the end of 20 min, the concentration dropped to 0.21 mol I^–/L. This difference is equal to a change in concentration of -0.08 mol I^–/L.

QUESTION:
