In the reaction,
BrO$$_{3(aq)}^ - $$ + 5Br$$_{(aq)}^ - $$ + 6H⁺ $$ \to $$ 3Br_2(l) + 3H₂O_(l).
The rate of appearance of bromine (Br₂) is related to rate of disappearance of bromide ions as

For the reaction A + B $$ \to $$ products, it is observed that

(i)  on doubling the initial concentration of A only, the rate of reaction is also doubled and
(ii)  on doubling the initial concentration of both A and B, there is a change by a factor of 8 in the rate of the reaction.

The rate of this reaction is given by

Half-life period of a first order reaction is 1386 seconds. The specific rate constant of the reaction is

The bromination of acetone that occurs in acid solution is represented by this equation.
