Question

a) The reaction for the formation of phosgene from carbon monoxide and chlorine CO + Cl2COCl2 is first order in CO and first order in Cl2. Complete the rate law for this reaction in the box below. Use the form k[A]m[B]n... , where '1' is understood for m, n ... (don't enter 1) and concentrations taken to the zero power do not appear.

rate=

b)In an experiment to determine the rate law, the rate of the reaction was determined to be 2.57×10-29 Ms-1 when [CO] = 2.61 M and [Cl2] = 5.33×10-2 M. From this experiment, the rate constant is __?__ M-1s-1.
