What is the rate law for the following reaction and its mechanism? 2 HgCl2 + C2O42- 2 Cl- + 2 CO2 + ...

What is the rate law for the following reaction and its mechanism?

2 HgCl₂ + C₂O₄^2-→ 2 Cl^- + 2 CO₂ + Hg₂Cl₂ (overall reaction)
HgCl₂ + C₂O₄^2-

HgCl₂C₂O₄^2- (fast)
HgCl₂C₂O₄^2- + C₂O₄^2-→ Hg + 2 C₂O₄Cl^2- (slow)
Hg + HgCl₂→ Hg₂Cl₂ (fast)
2 C₂O₄Cl^2-→ C₂O₄^2- + 2Cl^- + 2 CO₂ (fast)

▸ Rate = k[HgCl₂][C₂O₄^2-]

▸ Rate = k[HgCl₂]²[C₂O₄^2-]

▸ Rate = k[Hg₂Cl₂]

▸ Rate = k[HgCl₂][C₂O₄^2-]²

▸ Rate = k[HgCl₂]²[C₂O₄^2-]²
