Question
For the reaction Cl2(g) + 2NO(g) → 2NOCl(g) the rate law is expressed as rate = k[Cl2] [NO]2.
What is the overall order of reaction?
Solution
The overall order of the reaction for given
rate = k[Cl2] [NO]2
order of Cl2 = 1
order of [NO]2 =2
order =1+2 =3
rate = k[Cl2] [NO]2
order of Cl2 = 1
order of [NO]2 =2
order =1+2 =3
