Assignment:
If the overall reaction is the sum of the order of the reagents, and:
Zero order = changing concentration of the reactant does not affect the reaction rate.
First order = doubling the concentration of any reactant doubles the reaction rate
Second order = doubling the concentration of any reactant quadruples the reaction
Experiments show that, in the following reaction, doubling A doubled the reaction rate and the overall reaction order was 2. What is the reaction order?
1, 2, 3, 4 or 5
Note: there are very few, if any 3rd order reactions in any one reactant. Assume the temp is constant.
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
