Question

The rate of reaction between mercuric chloride and potassium oxalate can be followed by measuring the quantity of Hg­2Cl2 (s) formed as a function of time. In an experiment, the initial rate of this reaction was determined from mixing several solutions with different concentrations of HgCl2 and C2O42-. The following rate data were obtained for the rate of disappearance of C2O42- :

 

Experiment

HgCl2 (M)

C­­­­2O42- (M)

Rate (M/s)

1

0.164

0.15

3.2 × 10-5

2

0.164

0.45

2.9 × 10-4

3

0.082

0.45

1.4 × 10-4

 

a.) What is the reaction rate when the initial concentration of HgCl2 is 0.100 M and that of C2O42- is 0.25 M?
