Question

A chemistry graduate student is studying the rate of this reaction:
→2H3PO4aq+P2O5aq3H2Oaq
She fills a reaction vessel with H3PO4 and measures its concentration as the reaction proceeds:
time
(milliseconds)    H3PO4
0    0.100M
10.    0.0561M
20.    0.0390M
30.    0.0299M
40.    0.0242M
Use this data to answer the following questions. 
Write the rate law for this reaction.    rate    =k    
Calculate the value of the rate constant k.
Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Also be sure your answer has the correct unit symbol.    =k
