Chapter 13, Problem 13.49QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reaction order with respect to each reactant with the overall order of the reaction has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The exponent of every reactant can be experimentally determined by the rate law that is called as order of reactant for that reactant.

The overall order of the reaction will be equal to the total orders of the reactant species in the rate law. If the overall order of the reaction is three, the reaction is third order overall.

To calculate the reaction order with respect to ${\text{MnO}}_{\text{4}}{}^{\text{-}}$ and ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}$
