Question

If I had the equation

H2 + I2 --> 2HI

could I write the rate of reaction as

d[H2 + I2]/dt = k[H2]^x[I2]^y
were x is the order of reaction with respect to x and y is just the order of reaction with respect to y

thanks
well i guess I need the negative sense it's the reactant

-d[H2 + I2]/dt = k[H2]^x[I2]^y

is this correct?
