Question
IF anyone can help me with this involved question it would be greatly appreaciated.
the following data were collected from two separate experiments for the following reaction in aqueous, by measuring the number of moles of Hg2Cl2 that precipated per liter per minute
2HgCl2(aq) + C2O4^2-(aq) ---> 2Cl-(aq) + 2CO2(g) Hg2Cl2 (s)
Experiment 1 Experiment 2
time HgCl2 mol/L excess C2O4^2- C2O4^2- mol/L excess HgCl2
0 0.150 0.300
3.33 0.0843 0.283
5.00 0.0755 0.275
6.67 0.0676 0.268
8.33 0.0606 0.261
10.00 0.0543 0.254
16.67 0.0340 0.229
23.33 ? ?
a.) Determine the order of the reaction with respect to HgCl2, with respect to C2O4^2- and the overall rate. Write the rate law.
Explanation / Answer
order with respect to hgcl2 is 1
order with respect to C2O4^2-is 2
overall order=1+2=3
rate = k[HgCl2][C2O42-]2
