(a)
Define order of a reaction.
(b)
The rate for the following reaction is given by : $\displaystyle \mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B} \rightarrow \mathrm{C}$ Rate $\displaystyle =\mathrm{k}[\mathrm{A}][\mathrm{B}]^{2}$
(i)
How is the rate of reaction affected if we double the concentration of B ?
(ii)
Write the overall order of a reaction if 'A' is present in large excess. []
Marking-scheme solution
(a)
The sum of powers of concentration of the reactants in the rate law expression is
called order of the reaction.
(i)
Rate becomes $\displaystyle 4$ times.
(ii)
Order is $\displaystyle 2$
