Expert Solution
Step 1

 

 r = k[A]m[B]n r1= 6.85 * 10-4 M s-1= k[0.365]m M [0.446]n  r2=1.37 * 10-3 M s-1= k[0.730]m M [0.446]n

r2r1 = k (0.730 M)m (0.446 M)nk (0.365 M)m(0.446 M)n =1.37 * 10-3 M s-16.85 * 10-4 M s-1

                                 (2)m = 2

                                  m =1

Therefore order with respect to A (i.e.) [HgCl2] = 1
