Rate of reaction depends upon

The rate constant of a reaction varies :

In acidic medium the rate of reaction between [BrO_(3)^(-)] and [Br^(-)] ions given by the expression - (d[BrO_(3)^(-)])/(dt) = k [BrO_(3)^(-)][Br^(-)][H^(+)]^(2) It means (i) rate of constant of the reaction depends upon the concentration of H^(+) ions (ii) rate of reaction is independent of the concentration of acid added (iii) the change in pH of the solution will affect the rate of reaction (iv) doubling the concentration of H^(+) ions will increase the reactions rate by 4 items.
