Question

(a)Carbon monoxide reacts with chlorine to form phosgene. This reaction is described by the following equation:

CO Cl2 COCl2

The rate law for this reaction is k [CO]0 [Cl2]1.

The rate constant, k = 0.07280 sec-1 at 50oC.

What is the overall order of this reaction, as determined from the rate law? What is the order with respect to the two reactants?

Calculate the rate of reaction when [CO] = 0.198 M and [Cl2] = 0.168 M

Insert your answers in the boxes below (To enter a number in scientific format e.g. 1.5 x 10-3 type '1.5E-3')

What is the Overall order of reaction? =

What is the Order of reaction with respect to CO? =

What is the Order of reaction with respect to Cl2 =

What is the Rate of reaction (when [CO] = 0.198 M and [Cl2] = 0.168 M)? = mol L-1 sec-1

Answer 1

It is zero order w.r.t CO

It is first order w.r.t Cl2

Rate = 0.0728 X 0.168

= 0.01223 mol dm-3 s-1
