Goals
In this week's lab, you will further analyze the results of last week's experiments and you will carry out experiments to determine the temperature dependence of the reaction rate constant.

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.
