The following data have been determined for the reaction:

CO(g) + Cl2 (g) → COCl2 (g)

Experiment 1: [CO] (M) - 0.25 [Cl2] (M) - 0.40 Initial Rate 0.696
Experiment 2: [CO] (M) - 0.25 [Cl2] (M) - 0.80 Initial Rate 1.97
Experiment 3: [CO] (M) - 0.5 [Cl2] (M) - 0.80 Initial Rate 3.94

Determine the rate equation and the rate constant for this reaction.

Question 10 options:

rate = k[CO][Cl2]2 ; k = 11; rate = 11[CO][Cl2]2


rate = k[CO][Cl2] ; k = 11; rate = 11[CO][Cl2]


rate = k[CO][Cl2]3 ; k = 11; rate = 11[CO][Cl2]3


rate = k[CO][Cl2]3/2 ; k = 11; rate = 11[CO][Cl2]3/2
