Question

Consider the following reaction:

2 HgCl2(aq) + C2O42-(aq)  2 Cl-(aq) + 2 CO2(g) + Hg2Cl2(s)
 The rate law for this reaction is first order in HgCl2(aq) and second order in C2O42-(aq). the rate law for this reaction is:

Rate = k [HgCl2(aq)] [C2O42-(aq)]2

a) If the rate constant for this reaction at a certain temperature is 0.0152, what is the reaction rate when [HgCl2(aq)] = 0.129 M and [C2O42-(aq)] = 0.208 M?

Rate = _____  M/s.

b)What is the reaction rate when the concentration of HgCl2(aq) is doubled, to 0.258 M while the concentration of C2O42-(aq) is 0.208 M?

Rate =   ________
