Question

The correct answer is -1.6e-4 mol/L but I do not know how to obtain the answer. Please help, thanks.

The gas phase reaction Cl2 + 3 F2 → 2 CIF2 has a rate law that is second order with respect to
fluorine concentration but zero order with respect to chlorine. The rate constant, kis 1.40x103
mol1 Ls1. If the initial concentrations are 0.20 mol L1 chlorine is and 0.13 mol L1 fluorine,
calculate the initial reaction rate and therefore the change in fluorine concentration over the first
2.3 seconds of reaction.
(Note the choices below may be given in 'exponential' format, e.g. 0.0012 = 1.2x103 would be
displayed as 1.2e-3)
O -5.4e-5 mol/L
O 5.4e-5 mol/L
O 2.4e-5 mol/L
O -3.9e-4 mol/L
O -1.6e-4 mol/L
O -7.1e-5 mol/L
O -1.8e-5 mol/L
