At some temperature, the rate constant for the decomposition of HI on a
gold surface is 0.08 M.s^-1
2HI----->H2 + I2
What is the order of the reaction? How long will it take for the concentration
of HI to drop from 150 M to 030 M?

Dear student 
Molecularity = Order of reaction = 2
Two molecule are combining to give the products. So, mlecularity is 2.
In the rate expression, the sum of powers of the reactants is 2. So, order of the reaction is 2
Rest part of question is not clear , 
Plese type the correct question.
