The tabulated data were collected for this reaction: CH_3Cl(g) + 3Cl_2(g) rightarrow CCl_4(g) + 3 HCl(g). Write an expression for the reaction rate law and calculate the value of the rate constant, k. What is the overall order of the reaction?
Expert Answer
Answer
Rate of the reaction = K[CH3Cl]m[Cl2]n
Substitute the values of concentrations of [CH3Cl] and [Cl2] and values of m and n to get the value of rate constant K
Overall order = m+n
