Question

consider the reaction and its rate law.

\\4\text{a} + 2\text{b} \
ightarrow \text{products} \quad \text{rate} = k\text{a}^2\text{b}\\

what is the order with respect to a?

order:

what is the order with respect to b?

order:

what is the overall reaction order?

overall order:

Explanation:

Identify the exponents in the rate law

$$ \text{rate} = k[\text{A}]^2[\text{B}]^1 $$

Determine individual reaction orders

$$

$$

Calculate the overall reaction order

$$ \text{Overall order} = 2 + 1 = 3 $$
