1. Nitrogen monoxide reacts with chlorine according to the equation:
\[
2 \mathrm{NO}(g)+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{NOCl}(g)
\]
The following initial rates of reaction have been observed for certain reactant concentrations:
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline\( [\mathrm{NO}](\mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{L}) \) & {\( \left[\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right](\mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{L}) \)} & Rate \( \left(\mathrm{mol} \mathrm{L}^{-1} \mathrm{~h}^{-1}\right) \) \\
\hline 0.50 & 0.50 & 1.14 \\
\hline 1.00 & 0.50 & 4.56 \\
\hline 1.00 & 1.00 & 9.12 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
a) Write the rate law expression for the reaction.
b) Determine the rate order for NO with respect to \( \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \) ?
c) What is the rate order for \( \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \) with respect to NO ?
d) What is the rate constant, \( k \) ?
e) Finaly, what is the rate law for the reaction? Include the orders with respect to each reactants and \( k \) ?
