In the reaction \( 2A + B \rightarrow C \), if the rate law is \( \text{Rate} = k[A]^2[B] \), what is the overall order of the reaction?
Show Hint
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The overall order of a reaction is determined by summing the exponents of the concentration terms in the rate law.
In this case, the rate law is given as \( \text{Rate} = k[A]^2[B] \).
The exponent of \( [A] \) is 2 and the exponent of \( [B] \) is 1.
Therefore, the overall order is \( 2 + 1 = 3 \).

- Correct statements regarding Arrhenius equation among the following are:
Factor \(e^{-E_a/RT}\) corresponds to fraction of molecules having kinetic energy less than \(E_a\).
At a given temperature, lower the \(E_a\), faster is the reaction.
Increase in temperature by about \(10^\circ\text{C}\) doubles the rate of reaction.
Plot of \(\log k\) vs \(\dfrac{1}{T}\) gives a straight line with slope \(= -\dfrac{E_a}{R}\).
