Question

what is
order of reaction

Answer 1

The rate law or rate equation for a chemical reaction is an equation that links the reaction rate with the concentrations or pressures of the reactants and constant parameters

Answer 2

Order of reaction:- In a rate low expression it is the addition of powers of the reactants concentration.

For the reaction:-

aA + bB ----> Product

Here:-

Rate law will be k [A]^x [B]^y

where,

• x will be the reaction with respect to A.
• y will be the reaction with respect to B.
• x + y = n which is to be overall order of the reaction.

Important Information:-

• Possibility of order of the reaction is all it is possible to be -ve, +ve or even it may be 0.

• It is actually a experimental quantity.
