The bromination of acetone that occurs in acid solution is represented by this equation CH₃COCH₃(aq) + Br₂(aq) → CH₃COCH₂Br(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq) These kinetic data were obtained for given reaction concentrations. Initial concentrations (M) [CH₃COCH₃], [Br₂], [H⁺] → initial rate of disappearance of Br₂ (M s⁻¹): 0.30, 0.05, 0.05 → 5.7 × 10⁻⁵ 0.30, 0.10, 0.05 → 5.7 × 10⁻⁵ 0.30, 0.10, 0.10 → 1.2 × 10⁻⁴ 0.40, 0.05, 0.20 → 3.1 × 10⁻⁴ Based on these data, the rate equation is
