Explanation:
Rate laws are mathematical expressions which define the relationship that exists between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentration of the reacting components. Rate laws take the following form:
...
where k = rate constant
[A], [C] and [C] represent the molar concentrations of the reactants
k, x, y, and z are determined experimentally by observing how the rate of reaction changes with the concentrations of the reactants.
If x=1, the reaction is first order for [A]. Also, if y=2, the reaction is second order for [B] and so on...
The overall order of the reaction is the sum of the orders with respect to each reactant. Therefore, the overall order of the reaction is x+y+z.
