The reaction shown below has the rate law: Rate = k[BrO₃^-][Br^-][H⁺]².
BrO₃^-(aq) + 5 Br^-(aq) + 6 H⁺(aq) → 3 Br₂(aq) + 3 H₂O(l)
What is the overall order of reaction?

Question

The reaction shown below has the rate law: Rate = k[BrO₃^-][Br^-][H⁺]². BrO₃^-(aq)+ 5 Br^-(aq)+ 6 H⁺(aq)→ 3 Br₂(aq)+ 3 H₂O(l) What is the overall order of reaction?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The overall order of reaction is determined by adding the orders of each reactant in the rate law. In this case, the order is 1+1+2=4, making it a fourth-order reaction.
