The rate of the following reaction in aqueous solution is monitored by measuring the number of moles of HgCl2 that precipitate per minute. The data obtained are listed in the table. 2 HgCl2(aq) C2O4^2-(aq) -> 4 Cl-(aq) 2 CO2(g) Hg2Cl2(s) Experiment [HgCl2] (M) 0.105 0.105 0.052 0.052 [C2O4^2-] (M) 0.15 0.30 0.30 0.15 Initial rate (mol/min) 1.8 x 10^-5 2 x 10^-5 3.5 x 10^5 8.9 x 10^-6 Determine the order of reaction with respect to HgCl2: b) Determine the order of reaction with respect to C2O4^2-. Determine the overall order of the reaction. What is the rate law? Determine the value of the rate constant. c) What would be the initial rate of reaction if [HgCl2] = 0.020 M & [C2O4^2-] = 0.22 M?
