    The rate is halved when [ICl] x ½ so the rate is proportional to [ICI] . first order

    if the rate triples when [H2] x 3 the rate is proportional to [H2] . first order

    rate = k [ICl] * [H2]

    overall order is 1+1 = second order

    if both [ICl] and [H2] are doubled the rate * 4 

    if [ICl] is tripled and [H2] is cut x ¼  rate * 3/4 

    unit of k are :

    mole/ liter / sec = k * mole^2 Liter ^-2

    k = mole^1* liter ^-1 *sec^-1  * mole^-2 *Liter ^2 = mol-1 liter sec^-1
