Exhibit 13-12 Consider the Aqueous Reaction and Data Below to Answer

Exhibit 13-12 Consider the aqueous reaction and data below to answer the following question(s) . 2 HgCl₂ (aq) + C₂O₄^{2 -} (aq) →2 Cl ^- (aq) + 2 CO₂ (g) + HgCl₂ (s)
-Refer to Exhibit 13-12. What is the rate law for this reaction?

A) Rate = k [HgCl₂] [C₂O₄^{2 -} ]
B) Rate = k [HgCl₂]²[C₂O₄^{2 -} ]
C) Rate = k [HgCl₂] [C₂O₄^{2 -} ]²
D) Rate = k [HgCl₂]²[C₂O₄^{2 -} ]²
E) Rate = k [HgCl₂] [C₂O₄^{2 -} ]^1/2
