Chapter 12, Problem 23E

Nitrosyl chloride, NOCI, decomposes to NO and CI₂.

$2\text{NOCI}\left(g\right)\to 2\text{NO}\left(g\right)+{\text{CI}}_2\left(g\right)$

Determine the rate equation, the rate constant, and the overall order for this reaction from the following data:

[NOCI] (M)	0.10	0.20	0.30
Rate (mol/L/h)	$8.0\times {10}^{-10}$	$3.2\times {10}^{-9}$	$7.2\times {10}^{-9}$
