Question

. Consider the following reaction between mercury(II) chloride and oxalate ion:

2HgCl₂(aq) + C₂O₄^2- ® 2Cl^-(aq) + 2CO₂(g) + Hg₂Cl₂(s)

The initial rate of this reaction was determined for several concentrations of HgCl₂ and C₂O₄^2-, and the following rate data were obtained:

Experiment	[HgCl₂] (M)	[C₂O₄^2-] (M)	Rate (M/s)
1	0.105	0.15	1.8 x 10^-5
2	0.105	0.30	7.1 x 10^-5
3	0.052	0.30	3.5 x 10^-5
4	0.052	0.15	8.9 x 10^-6

a) What is the rate law for this reaction?
b) What is the value of the rate constant?
c) What is the reaction rate when the concentration of HgCl₂ is 0.080 M and that of C₂O₄^2- is 0.10 M if the temperature is the same as in the above experiments?
