Summary Introduction

To review:

The overall rate expression and the order of the given reaction from the following information:

A + B $\to$ C

[A] mM	[B] mM	Rate (mM/s)
0.05	0.05	2 $\times$ 107
0.10	0.05	4 $\times$ 107
0.05	0.1	4 $\times$ 107
0.1	0.1	8 $\times$ 107

Introduction:

The rate of a reaction is defined as the change in the concentration of the reactant to form a product with respect to time. It signifies the speed at which the reactant is consumed to form the product. The overall rate of the reaction is given by the sum of the rates of all the reactants. These parameters are determined to study enzyme kinetics.
