Explanation:
Expression for rate of the given reaction is as follows.
Rate = k[HgCl_{2}]x [C_{2}O^{2-}_{4}]y[/tex]
Therefore, the reaction equations by putting the given values will be as follows.
............. (1)
........... (2)
............ (3)
Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get the value of y = 2. Therefore, by solving equation (2) and (3) we get the value of x = 1.
Therefore, expression for rate of the reaction is as follows.
Rate =
Rate =
Hence, total order = 1 + 2 = 3
According to equation (1),
k =
Thus, we can conclude that rate constant for the given reaction is .
