Question

1a)

CO(g) + Cl2(g)  COCl2(g)

The above reaction obeys the mechanism:

Cl2  2Cl      Fast equilibrium

Cl + CO  COCl      Fast equilibrium

COCl + Cl2  COCl2 + Cl      Slow

2Cl  Cl2      Fast

Consider each of the following expressions and write "Yes" or "No" besdie each expression to indicate which represent a correct statement of the rate law that is consistent with the given mechanism.
    -d[Cl2]/dt = k[Cl2]3/2[CO]
    d[COCl2]/dt = k[Cl2]2/3[CO]
    d[COCl2]/dt = k[CO][Cl]3/2
    -d[Cl2]/dt = k[Cl]2
    d[COCl2]/dt = k[Cl2]3[CO]
    d[COCl2]/dt = k[Cl2]3/2[CO]

1b) Suppose that: k1/k-1 = 1×10-2 mol L-1k2/k-2 = 1×106 L mol-1k3 = 1×10-4 L mol-1 s-1, and k4 = 1×103 L mol-1 s-1.

What would be the value of the overall rate constant, k, including correct units?
