overall order

How do you calculate the overall order?

[Samuel Tzeng 1B]

You'll have to find the order of the individual reactants then add them up

[AKatukota]

You just add up the individual orders. So if you have A + B --> C and reactant A is order 1 and reactant B is order 2, the overall order would be 3

[Betania Hernandez 2E]

The overall order is just the sum of all the powers of the reactants in the rate law. Such as Rate=k[A]^2[B]^1 has an overall order of 3

the overall order is equal to the sum of all the orders of the reactants. The order of each reactant is the exponential value of the reactant

[Megan Cao 1I]

to calculate the overall order of a reaction you would add the exponents of the reactants.

for example, if the rate law =k[A]²[B]¹, then the overall order would be 3 (2+1)
