A series of experiments were conducted to determine the rate law governing the reaction of formation of NOCI. In those experiments, the following data was obtained:

Experiment [NO]o, mol dm-3 [Clz]o, mol dm3 NOCI, mol dm-3 g-1. 0.0150 0.0250 4.80 x 10-5

2. 0.0150 0.0150 2.88 x 10-5

3. 0.0250 0.0250 1.33 x 10-4 4. 0.0350 0.0150 1.57 x 10-4

The reaction that represents the process is:

Cl2 (g) + 2 NO (g) - 2 NOCI (g)

a) Determine the partial orders with respect to each reactant.

b) Calculate the rate constant.

c) Which reactant has a greater impact on the reaction rate? Explain.

d) Calculate the rate of reaction when the concentrations of NO and Cl2 are 0.020M and 0.030M, respectively.

NOTE: If you use a graphical approach, include the graph in your answer.
