The following data were obtained on the initial rates of a reaction of a d-metal complex with a reactant Y in aqueous solution. What is 

(a) The order of reaction with respect to the complex and Y, 

(b) The rate constant? For the experiments (i), [Y]=2.7mmol dm−3 and for experiments (ii) [Y]= 6.1mmol dm−3.

[complex]/(mmoldm-) vo/(mol dm-3 s-) (i) (ii) 8.01 125 640 9.22 144 730

[complex]/(mmoldm-) vo/(mol dm-3 s-) (i) (ii) 8.01 125 640 9.22 144 730 12.11 190 960
