Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The overall order of a reaction is determined by summing the exponents of the concentration terms in the rate law. If the rate law is not provided, additional context from Exhibit 13-9 would be needed to determine the specific order. However, based on typical reaction orders, second order is a common overall order for reactions.
