From the rate expression for the following reaction,determine its order of reaction and the dimensions of the rate constant.
$H_2 O_2+3 I^{-}+2 H^{+} \rightarrow 2 H_2 O+I_3^{-} \text { Rate }=k\left[H_2 O_2\right]\left[I^{-}\right]$

(N/A) Given Rate $= k[H_2O_2][I^{-}]$
The order of reaction is the sum of the powers of the concentration terms in the rate law expression.
Order $= 1 + 1 = 2$
Dimension of $k = \frac{\text{Rate}}{[H_2O_2][I^{-}]}$
$= \frac{\text{mol L}^{-1} \text{s}^{-1}}{(\text{mol L}^{-1})(\text{mol L}^{-1})}$
$= \text{L mol}^{-1} \text{s}^{-1}$

For the reaction $A + B \to C + D$,if the concentration of $A$ is doubled without affecting the concentration of $B$,the rate doubles. If the concentration of $B$ is increased $9$ times without affecting the concentration of $A$,the rate becomes $3$ times. Determine the order of the reaction.

Consider the following data for the given reaction $2 HI_{(g)} \rightarrow H_{2_{(g)}} + I_{2_{(g)}}$. The order of the reaction is:
Experiment $1$ $2$ $3$
$[HI] \ (mol \ L^{-1})$ $0.005$ $0.01$ $0.02$
Rate $(mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1})$ $7.5 \times 10^{-4}$ $3.0 \times 10^{-3}$ $1.2 \times 10^{-2}$

For the reaction $A \to xP$,when $[A] = 2.2 \, mM$,the rate was found to be $2.4 \, mM \, s^{-1}$. On reducing the concentration of $A$ to half,the rate changes to $0.6 \, mM \, s^{-1}$. The order of reaction with respect to $A$ is
