#Chemistry fediverse, I'm reaching out one more time for help:
I have a spreadsheet with rate data from testing a new lab [1]. The iodate showed a nice 2nd order result, but the bisulfite is throwing me off.
HSO3- is confusing me. Warm had wide variations, cold did better. I didn't think temp would change the rate order, but I'm not sure what to do with it. Calculated cold ~ [HSO3-]^2, calculated hot ~ [HSO3-]^3.5.
My math works, but feeling stuck on why.
