I'm not 100% sure, but I think it should be 3-chloro-1,4-dimethyl-cyclohex-1-ene (working anti-clockwise) to ensure the lowest overall numbering.
 
Actually it was 5-chloro-1,4-dimethylcyclohexene. I made the dumb mistake of putting 5-chloro-1,4-dimethyl-cyclohexene before, which is why it was wrong. This website: http://www.vanderbilt.edu/AnS/Chemistry/Rizzo/chem220a/alkenes.pdf is a good resource for this if anyone has similar questions. But thank you for your help PWiz.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
