Calculate the overall order of a reaction which has the rate expression (a) Rate = k [A]1/2 [B]3/2 (b) Rate = k [A]3/2 [B]-1 [Delhi 2011(C); AI 2011(C)]

Calculate the overall order of a reaction which has the rate expressio

1.	Calculate the overall order of a reaction which has the rate expression (a) Rate = k [A]1/2 [B]3/2 (b) Rate = k [A]3/2 [B]-1 [Delhi 2011(C); AI 2011(C)]
Answer» (a) RATE= K[A]21[B]23∴ order of reaction = 21+23=24=2.(b) Rate= K[A]23[A]−1∴ order of reaction = 23−1=21
