Find the overall order of the reactions which have the following rate law expressions:
(a) Rate $= k[A]^{1/2}[B]^{3/2}$
(b) Rate $= k[A]^{3/2}[B]^{-1}$
(c) Rate $= k[A]^1[B]^2$
Answer
Answer
Official answer key(a) Overall order $= \tfrac{1}{2} + \tfrac{3}{2} = 2$
(b) Overall order $= \tfrac{3}{2} + (-1) = \tfrac{1}{2}$
(c) Overall order $= 1 + 2 = 3$
