Chapter 12, Problem 25E

Nitrogen monoxide reacts with chlorine according to the equation:

$2\text{NOCI}\left(g\right)\to 2\text{NOCI}\left(g\right)$

The following initial rates of reaction have been observed for certain reactant concentrations:

[NO] (moI/L1)	[CI2] (mol/L)	Rate (moI/L/h)
0.50	0.50	1.14
1.00	0.50	4.56
1.00	1.00	9.12

What is the rate equation that describes the rate’s dependence on the concentrations of NO and CI₂? What is the rate constant? What are the orders with respect to each reactant?
