27. (14 points) The complex trans-PtCl₂(pip)₂ (pip = piperidine) reacts with NaNO₂ in methanol to form trans-PtCl(NO₂)(pip)₂. The kinetic data for a reaction between a 0.0007 M solution of trans-PtCl₂(pip)₂ and different concentrations of NaNO₂ are given below. The reaction follows the rate law:

(2) (4 points) Explain why there are two rate constants, k₁ and k₂.
