Q3 of 39 Page 103

For a reaction, A + B → Product; the rate law is given by, r = k [ A]1/2 [B]2. What is the order of the reaction?

The order of the reaction is sum of the powers of concentration of reactants in the rate law. According to this,


The order of the reaction = 1/2 + 2


=


The order of the reaction is 2.5
