Explanation / Answer

4.

General rate law expression for the givne reaction is,

Rate = k[ICl]m[H2]n

Do (1) / (2)

0.0015 / 0.0030 = (0.100 / 0.200)m

(1/2) = (1/2)m

So, m = 1

Therefore, order of reaction with respect to ICl = 1

NOW,

Do, (1) / (3)

0.0015 / 0.00075 = (0.100 / 0.050)n

(2) = (2)n

SO, n = 1

Therefore, order with respect to H2 = 1

Overall order of reaction = 1 + 1 = 2

Rate law expression,

Rate = k[ICl][H2]

NOW,

(1) =>

0.0015 = k(0.100)(0.100)

k = 0.15 M-1s-1
