Can I get help on this

The chemical reaction shown was performed and the concentration of HClHCl was measured over time.


Cl2(g)+CHCl3(g)⟶HCl(g)+CCl4(g)Cl2⁢(g)+CHCl3⁢(g)⟶HCl(g)+CCl4⁢(g)

The [HCl][HCl] after 11 s11 s was 0.184 mol/L0.184 mol/L . After 146 s146 s , the [HCl][HCl] was 0.451 mol/L0.451 mol/L .


Calculate the rate of reaction.

rate of reaction: mol HCl/L/s?

I Apologize. I accidently put Cl2(g)+CHCl3(g)⟶HCl(g)+CCl4, 11 s, 0.184 mol/L, 146 s, [HCl], and 0.451 mol/L twice.

Got it. But now the question is are you looking for an average rate of reaction? Since the time points are so far apart (11s vs 146s) this wouldn't be very useful. On the other hand, finding instantaneous rates at each point isn't useful either. And since we don't know the order of the reaction, it's difficult to answer this question with any degree of certainty. Maybe someone else will come up with a better way to handle this.
