question 17

Multiple Choice

What is the rate law for the following reaction and its mechanism?
2HgCl2 + C2O42- → 2Cl- + 2CO2 + Hg2Cl2 (overall reaction)
HgCl2 + C2O42- ⇌ HgCl2C2O42- (Fast)
HgCl2C2O42- + C2O42- → Hg + 2C2O4Cl2- (Slow)
Hg + HgCl2 → Hg2Cl2 (Fast)
2C2O4Cl2- → C2O42- +2Cl- + 2CO2 (Fast)

• A) Rate = k[HgCl2][C2O42-]
• B) Rate = k[HgCl2]2[C2O42-]
• C) Rate = k[Hg2Cl2]
• D) Rate = k[HgCl2][C2O42-]2
• E) Rate = k[HgCl2]2[C2O42-]2
