Question
The following initial rate data are for the reaction of mercury(II) chloride with oxalate ion:

\[ 2 \text{HgCl}_2 + \text{C}_2\text{O}_4^{2-} \rightarrow 2 \text{Cl}^- + \text{Hg}_2\text{Cl}_2 + 2 \text{CO}_2 \]

| Experiment | [HgCl₂]₀, M | [C₂O₄²⁻]₀, M | Initial Rate, M s⁻¹ |
|------------|-------------|---------------|----------------------|
| 1          | 8.53×10⁻²   | 0.378         | 1.26×10⁻⁴            |
| 2          | 0.171       | 0.378         | 2.52×10⁻⁴            |
| 3          | 8.53×10⁻²   | 0.756         | 5.02×10⁻⁴            |
| 4          | 0.171       | 0.756         | 1.01×10⁻³            |

Complete the rate law for this reaction in the box below.  
Use the form k[A]^m[B]^n, where '1' is understood for m or n and concentrations taken to the zero power do not appear.  
Don't enter 1 for m or n.

Rate = \_\_\_\_\_\_

From these data, the rate constant is \_\_\_\_\_\_ M⁻²s⁻¹.
