Meera writes the rate law of CO+Cl2→COCl2\text{CO} + \text{Cl}_2 \rightarrow \text{COCl}_2CO+Cl2→COCl2 as k[CO][Cl2]k[\text{CO}][\text{Cl}_2]k[CO][Cl2], because the equation has one molecule of each. Experiments give k[CO][Cl2]3/2k[\text{CO}][\text{Cl}_2]^{3/2}k[CO][Cl2]3/2. What is the right comment?
