(a)Give any two differences between order and molecularity of a reaction.(b)For a reaction $\displaystyle \mathrm{X}+\mathrm{Y} \rightarrow \mathrm{Z}$, in which both X and Y follow first order kinetics; if the concentration of X is increased $\displaystyle 2$ times and concentration of Y is increased $\displaystyle 3$ times, how does it affect the rate of reaction?
