Given the following hypothetical reaction: 2 E(g) + F(g) + G(g) products. If the rate law is: Rate = k[E]2[F]-1, what is the overall order of reaction?
1. a. zero
2. b. first
3. c. second
4. d. third
1 answer
The order with respect to E is second order, with respect to F is -1 order, the overall over is first (2-1 = 1)
