1.	What is the order with respect to each of the reactant and overall order of the following reactions ? (a) 5Br_((aq))^(-)+BrO_(3(aq))^(-)+6H_((aq))^(+)rarr3Br_(2_((l)))+3H_2O_((I)) The experimental rate law is Rate =k[Br^(-)][BrO_3^-][H^+]^2 (b) CH_3CHO_((g))overset(Delta)rarrCH_(4(g))+CO_((g)) the experimental rate law is Rate =k[CH_3CHO]^(3//2)
Answer» Solution :(a) First ORDER with RESPECT to `Br^-` , first order with respect to `BrO_3^-` and SECOND order with respect to `H^+` . Hence the overall order of the reaction is equal to (b) Order of the reaction with respect to ACETALDEHYDE is `3/2` and overall order is ALSO `3/2` .
