SID#:

Laboratory Section:

1. Write the general rate law for the reaction.

2. Do you know the order of the reaction with respect to CO and Cl2? Yes/No/CNA Briefly, explain a yes or no response.

The rate of the reaction of CO and Cl2 was studied and the following data was obtained.

Experiment

[CO]

[Cl2]

Initial Rate (M min-1)

1

1.00

0.100

1.29 x 10-29

2

2.00

0.100

2.56 x 10-29

3

2.00

0.0100

2.56 x 10-30

Answer the following questions.

3. What is the order of the reaction with respect to [CO]? (NOTE: If you are not sure what order is say so.)

4. What is the order of the reaction with respect to [Cl2]? (NOTE: If you are not sure what order is say so.)

5. What is the specific rate law for this reaction. (NOTE: If you are not sure what a rate law is say so.)

6. Calculate the magnitude and the units for the rate constant. (NOTE: If you are not sure what a rate constant is say so.)

7. Is there anything about the reaction or the questions that you feel you do not understand? List your concerns/questions.
