The rate expresson for a reaction is given as rate = K[ A ] ^2 [ B ]^3. What is the overall order of the reaction?
Answer: 5
Explanation
The overall order of a reaction is the sum of the exponents of the concentration terms in the rate expression.
Given the rate expression:
rate=k[A] 2 [B] 3
The exponent for [A] is 2.
The exponent for [B] is 3.
To find the overall order of the reaction, we sum these exponents:
2+3=5
Therefore, the overall order of the reaction is 5.
