Interpretation:
To determine the reaction order in A, B and the overall reaction order of
Concept introduction:
Consider the general reaction
Rate law of the reaction is as follows:
Here,
Answer to Problem 62A
Reaction order of A is 1, B is 3. Overall order is 4.
Explanation of Solution
Given rate law of the reaction is as follows:
Since, the reactant A has an exponent of 1. Therefore, order of A is 1.
Similarly, reactant B has an exponent of 3. Hence, order of B is 3.
Hence,
As order of A is 1 and B is 3 and over all order is 4. Therefore, rate law of the reaction is
Overall order is the measure of the power of the concentration term in the rate law expression.
