Question

CHCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g) → CCl₄(g) + HCl(g), rate = k[CHCl₃][Cl₂]¹/²
What is order for the given reaction?

Answer 1

Answer:

it is already balance reaction.

Answer 2

Answer:

Order of reaction is $\frac{3}{2}$

Explanation:

since we have given the chemical equation,

CHCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g) → CCl₄(g) + HCl(g)

Rate is also given as rate = k[CHCl₃][Cl₂]¹/²

we know the definition of order of reaction as it is defined as sum of power of compound given in rate law expression.

Rate law expression is given in the question as rate = k[CHCl₃][Cl₂]¹/²

so, order of reaction = ($1+\frac{1}{2}$)

                                  =$\frac{3}{2}$

Order of reaction is $\frac{3}{2}$.
