To determine the order with respect to ICl, we look at experiments 1 and 2 since they have the same [H₂] but different [ICl]. Using the rate equation: rate = k[H₂]^1[ICl]^x, where x is the order with respect to ICl. Taking the ratio of the two experiments: (rate of experiment 1)/(rate of experiment 2) = ([ICl] of experiment 1)^x / ([ICl] of experiment 2)^x Solving for x: 0.331 M/s ÷ 1.34 M/s = (81 torr)^x ÷ (325 torr)^x 0.247 = (0.25)^x x ≈ 1, since 0.25 to the power of 1 is equal to 0.25 Thus, the order with respect to ICl is 1, which means the answer is B.
