Explanation / Answer

Let us first recalculate Cf for both FeCl3 and KI
in M

Using Cf = CiVi/Vf

Trial     FeCl3 Cf (M)      KI Cf (M)      Initial rate (s-1)

1             0.01                    0.01              0.00068

2             0.01                   0.005             0.00238

3             0.005                   0.01             0.00165

4             0.0075               0.005             0.00385

5             0.005                 0.0075           0.00340

Now we have,

r = k[FeCl3]^m[KI]^n

lets take trial 3 and trail 5

r3/r = 0.00068/0.00238 = k1(0.01)^m(0.01)^n/k2(0.01)^m(0.005)^n

0.286 = 2^n

Taking log on both sides,

log(0.20732) = nlog(2)

n = 2

Now take trial 2 and trial 4, th concentration of KI is same so cancels out,

r2/r4 = 0.00238/0.00385 = (0.01/0.0075)^m

again taking log on both side,

m = 6

So the rate law becomes,

r = [FeCl3]^3[KI]^1
