Question
The form of the rate law for a reaction is expressed as: rate = k [Cl2] [NO]2. Find out the orders of reaction with respect to Cl2 and with respect to NO and also the overall order of the reaction.
Solution
Order of reaction with respect to Cl2 = 1.
Order of reaction with respect to NO = 2.
Overall order of reaction = 1 + 2 + 3.
