Re: Overall Order
To get the overall order of a reaction, add up all the orders of the reactants that are involved in the reaction.

You have to add the exponents of all the reactants in the rate equation.

Re: Overall Order
The overall order is equal to all the exponents on the reactant concentrations added together.

Re: Overall Order
Another way to say this is that if you have the general rate = k[A]^m[B]^n, the overall order would be m+n
(aka add the exponents of each reactant)

Re: Overall Order
Overall order of the reaction is derived by adding the exponents of the elements in the rate of reaction. It is the addition of all the order of each of the elements in the reaction.
