Overall order of the reaction

[KMcFarland_2L]

How do you determine the overall order of a reaction?

[HilaGelfer_2H]

Hi,

The overall order of the reaction can be found by adding the individual orders of each reactant.

I hope this helps :)

[Lakshmi Davuluri 1E]

You can determine the overall order of a reaction by taking the sum of the orders of the individual reactants

[Anna Lockhart 2B]

I agree with what they said, for example if you have an equation A + B -> C and A is first order and B is second order, the overall order would be 3.

[Hailey Kang 2K]

The overall order is determined by adding up the orders of all the elementary reactions!

[Akemi Karamitsos 1E]

Finding the overall order of the reaction is simple once you determine the individual orders! You can simply sum up the individual orders. For example, if you have a 1st order and 2nd order reaction, the overall would be 3 because 1+2=3.

[Shalyn Kelly 3H]

As stated above, just find the orders of the reactants and add them together and you're set. :)

[Ariel Guan 1H]

you would add up the individual orders to get the overall order of the reaction

[sabrina ghalambor 2J]

the overall order of a reaction is found by calculating the sum of the orders of the individual reactants

[Bella Wachter 1A]

You determine the overall order of a reaction by adding together the orders of each of the reactants in the rate law.

For example, let's say we are given an initial rates table, and from it, we determine that reactant B is first order and reactant A is second order (and these are our only 2 reactants). Therefore, we know that the rate law is rate = k [A]^2 [B]

Adding up the orders of both reactants, we get 2 + 1 = 3. The overall order of the reaction is 3 (the reaction is a 3rd-order reaction)

How do you determine the overall order of a reaction?

You can't tell from just looking at the rxn equation, so you have to take the sum of the order of the individual reactants and that will be the order of the products.

[Sandy Lin 1L]

You would have to find the reaction order of each individual reactant usually by comparing the initial reaction rates under varying initial conditions. Then you can just add all the orders of the reactants to find the overall order of the reaction.

[Justin Lin 1B]

You can figure our the overall order of the reaction by looking adding up the order of the reactions for each reactant

[Alison Perkins 2B]

Sum the order of each reactant to get the overall reaction order

[Abhinav Behl 3G]

The overall order of a reaction is calculated by simply adding all of the orders for each individual reactant together.

[Rob Tsai 2F]

The orders of individual reactants that are involved in the slowest step of the reaction summed up would equal the overall order of the reaction. We find the individual orders of each reactant through experimentation, where we manipulate each concentration to see if the initial rate changes, and from that data we solve for n, m, l, etc. Hope this helps!

[Ethan Laureano 3H]

Overall order of the reaction equals the sum of all the orders of the reactants.

[Ryan Agcaoili 2E]

The overall order of the reaction is the sum of all the orders of the reactants.

[Mariah Disc 2C]

Take the sum of the individual orders.

[JoshMoore2B]

How do you determine the overall order of a reaction?

The overall order of a reaction is dependent on the individual reactants' orders, similar to how other equations used in chemistry are sums of the parts.

[manisha_joseph_1H]

The overall order of a reaction can be found by summing the orders of the individual reactants.

[Moura Girgis 1F]

If you take the sum of the orders of all the elementary reactions you can calculate the overall order.

[Jared Limqueco 3E]

By summing the individual orders, you can find the overall order of the reaction

[Aydin Karatas 1F]

The overall order of a reaction is found by summing the orders of the elementary reactions.

[Nathan Lao 2I]

All you have to do is add the order of all the reactants together!

[chinmayeec 2H]

You can determine the overall order of the reaction by adding the order of each of the individual species that are part of the rate law.

[RaniyaFeroz_1E]

You have to take the sum of the order of individual reactants to get the overall order of the reaction.

[Joshua Chung 2D]

Simply sum up the orders of each of the reactants, usually denoted by n, m, etc.

[Cora Chun 2D]

Add up all of the orders of the reactants.
rate=k[A]^m[B]^n...and so on, with "m" and "n" being the orders of the reactants A and B respectively
the overall order would be m+n
It is important to note that the order of a reactant is NOT the stoichiometric coefficient and can only be determined experimentally. If you need any clarification, lmk! :)

[jasonfarrales3D]

You can find the overall order of the reaction by adding up the individual orders of the reactants. For example, if we had two reactants, A and B, and A was first order while B was second order, the overall order of the reaction would be three!

[SelenaDahabreh1D]

You would have to add up the individual order of the reactants in the formula.

[Faith Lee 2L]

You can find the overall order by adding the orders of the reactants :) If your reaction involved Reactants A (zero-order), B, (1st order), and C (2nd order), your overall reaction would be 3rd order :)

[Jason Knight - 1F]

The overall order of the reaction is determined by adding the individual orders of the reactants.

[Sedge Greenlee]

n₁ + n₂ + n₃ ... = n_reaction

[Lauren Sarigumba 1K]

The overall order of the reaction is the sum of the orders of the individual reactants.

[305572629]

You must add each individual order in order to determine the total order of the reaction.

[aashmi_agrawal_3d]

You add up the individual orders of the reactants.

[Shreyank Kadadi 3K]

The overall order of a reaction can be found by adding up the orders of each of the reactants.

[Gwirnowski 3B]

The overall order of the reaction is found by adding the individual orders of each reactant.
So for example if you have 2 reactants, one with 2nd order and one with 1st order, those combined would make the overall reaction 3rd order.
The individual orders of each reactant is found using the methods we have learned in class.

[Gustavo_Chavez_1K]

The overall order of a reaction is determined by adding the orders of each reactant in the rate law equation.

[Shivani Kapur 2J]

The overall order of the reaction can be determined by adding the individual orders together.

[Isabel_Eslabon_2G]

The overall order of a reaction is the sum of the orders of the reaction’s elementary steps.

[Heather Costa 2C]

your adding the individual orders together so if you have A as 1st order and B as 2nd order the overall order would be 3

[Diana Aguilar 3H]

Hi! Like many others have stated, the overall order of a reaction can be found by adding the individual orders of the reactants together.

[705340227]

Thanks everyone for the clarification! I was also confused about that

[Neha Jonnalagadda 2D]

You can find the total order by adding the orders of the reactants.
