By “the overall order of a reaction”, we mean

  • A

    The number of concentration terms in the equation for the reaction

  • B

    The sum of powers to which the concentration terms are raised in the velocity equation

  • C

    The least number of molecules of the reactants needed for the reaction

  • D

    The number of reactants which take part in the reaction

What is rate law ? Give a relation between rate of reaction and concentration of reactants.

During the kinetic study of the reaction, $2A + B \rightarrow C + D,$ following results were obtained

Run $[A]/mol\,L^{-1}$ $[B]/mol\,L^{-1}$ Initial rate of formation of $D/mol\,L^{-1}\,min^{-1}$
$I.$ $0.1$ $0.1$ $6.0 \times 10^{-3}$
$II.$ $0.3$ $0.2$ $7.2 \times 10^{-2}$
