Re: Finding the overall order
To find the overall order you need to sum up the orders of each reactant in the rate law.

Re: Finding the overall order
To find the overall order of a reaction, you need to determine the sum of the individual orders with respect to each reactant in the rate law.

Re: Finding the overall order
For instance, if rate = k[A] the order is one (unimoleculrar). Or rate = k[A]^2 the order is two (bimolecular). The equations rate = k[A][B] is also an order of 2 (bimolecular) because like the people above said, it's just the sum of the exponentials.
