Question

Consider the reaction and its rate law.

Answer 1

The order with respect to A is 2

The order with respect to B is 0.

The overall reaction order is 2.

Explanation:

The rate of chemical equation is represented by its rate equation. Here the rate equation of the given chemical reaction is

$rate=k[B]^2$

Here k represents the rate constant .

Order of the reaction with respect to its individual reactants is represented by the power of the the reactants in the rate equation.

Here the power of the reactant A is 0 and the power of reactant B is 2.

Hence the order with respect to A is 0 and order with respect to B is 2.

The overall order of the reaction is given by the sum of the powers of the reactants in the rate equation.

Hence the total order=2+0=2
