Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a reaction where the rate law is rate = k[A]^2[B], what is the overall order of the reaction?
  • Step 1: Identify the rate law given in the question, which is rate = k[A]^2[B].
  • Step 2: Look at the exponents in the rate law. The exponent for [A] is 2, and the exponent for [B] is 1.
  • Step 3: Add the exponents together. So, 2 (from [A]^2) + 1 (from [B]) = 3.
  • Step 4: The overall order of the reaction is the total sum of the exponents, which is 3.
