in a study of the decomposition of hydrogen iodide on a gold surface at 150 °C HI(g)% H2(g) +½ I½(g) the concentration of HI was followed as a function of time. It was found that a graph of [HI] versus time in seconds gave a straight line with a slope of -1.58×104 M s and a y-intercept of 0.495 M. Based on this plot, the reaction is order in HI and the rate constant for the reaction is Ms!.
