Concept introduction:
The kinetic order of a reaction is given by the sum of the powers of all concentrations in the rate law.
The kinetic order in each reactant is the power to which its concentration is raised in the rate law.

Answer to Problem 9.6P
Overall kinetic order of the addition reaction of bromine to an alkene with
The reaction is first order in alkene and second order in bromine.
The dimensions of the rate constant
Explanation of Solution
