Extra Credit - Rate Laws

Please submit your answer to the following:

Listed below is a set of representative data similar to what you will be using in your Pre-Lab, Quiz and Lab for the experiment on Rate Laws. After reviewing this material, fill in the spaces below for the concentrations, rates and, ultimately, rate law. The solutions will be posted at a later time so check back on the website!

Reaction:  C2H2Cl2  +  I2   ->     C2H2Cl2I2

I. Preparing to Measure Solution Volumes
concentration of C2H2Cl2solution, mol/L               0. 264 M             .
concentration of I2 solution, mol/L               0.0128 M                .
room temperature, °C             22.2oC                .
