Given information

The following data were collected for the reaction:

 

[CH3Cl] (M) [Cl2] (M) Initial Rate (M/s)
0.050 0.050   0.014
0.100 0.050   0.029
0.100 0.100  0.041
0.200 0.200 0.115
 
 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

To find the order of the reaction:

[CH3Cl] (M) [Cl2] (M) Initial Rate (M/s)
0.050 0.050   0.014
0.100 0.050   0.029
0.100 0.100  0.041
0.200 0.200 0.115

To check how change in concentration of [CH3Cl] affects the Initial rate of this reaction,

 Let us divide the Row 2/Row 1:

[In this case [Cl2] is not changing but [CH3Cl] is changing hence we can find the affect of [CH3Cl] on the initial rate of the reaction]

 

 

Hence when [CH3Cl] doubles the initial rate also doubles.

Therefore we can say the order of the reaction with respect to [CH3Cl] is one.
