1.	What is the order with respect to each of the reactant and overall order of the following reactions ? (a) 5Br_((aq))^(-)+BrO_((aq))^(-)+6H_((aq))^(+)rarr 3Br_(2(l))+3H_(2)O_((l)) The experimental rate law is Rate =k[Br^(-)][BrO_(3)^(-)][H^(+)]^(2) (b) CH_(3)CH_((g))overset(Delta)rarr CH_(4(g))+CO_((g)) the experimental rate law is Rate =k[CH_(3)CHO]^((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 `1+1+2=4` (b) Order of the reaction with respect to acetaldehyde is `(3)/(2)` and overall order is ALSO `(3)/(2)`
