2NO(g) + Cl2(g) --> 2NOCl(g)

If the reaction is second order with reapect to NO and first order with respect to Cl2,

a.write rate equation
b. What is the order of chemical reaction?

2 answers

a.
rate = k(NO)^2(Cl2)
b.
The order of the equation is 2+1 = 3
a. The rate = k[NO]^2[Cl2]
the overall order of the rxn is 2+1=3
