### Reaction Rate Analysis

The chemical reaction provided is:

\[ \text{H}_2 (g) + \text{O}_2 (g) \rightarrow 2\text{HCl} (g) \]

The table below shows the concentrations of the reactants and products over a period of time:

| Time (s) | \([\text{H}_2]\) (M) | \([\text{Cl}_2]\) (M) | \([\text{HCl}]\) (M) |
|----------|--------------------|---------------------|-------------------|
| 0.00     | 0.300              | 0.400               | 0.000             |
| 2.00     | 0.200              | 0.300               | 0.200             |

### Explanation of the Data

The reaction starts with initial concentrations of hydrogen \((\text{H}_2)\) and chlorine \((\text{Cl}_2)\) and no hydrogen chloride \((\text{HCl})\) is present at time zero. As the reaction progresses to 2 seconds, the concentration of \((\text{H}_2)\) decreases to 0.200 M, \((\text{Cl}_2)\) decreases to 0.300 M, and \((\text{HCl})\) increases to 0.200 M.

### Rate of Reaction for Chlorine

The rate of reaction for chlorine can be calculated using the change in concentration over time:

\[
\text{Rate of } [\text{Cl}_2] = \frac{\text{Change in concentration of } [\text{Cl}_2]}{\text{Change in time}} = \frac{0.300 \, \text{M} - 0.400 \, \text{M}}{2.00 \, \text{s} - 0.00 \, \text{s}} = -0.050 \, \text{M/s}
\]

This indicates the rate at which chlorine is being consumed in the reaction. The negative sign indicates a decrease in concentration.
