Introduction

Last week you determined the experimental rate law for the iodination of cyclohexanone and evaluated the proposed mechanism for the reaction. This week, you will calculate the reaction rate constant from last week's results. You will also measure the reaction rate and determine the rate constant for a variety of temperatures, to determine the reaction's activation energy.
