Paper 2 · November 2008 · Reaction Kinetics

The reaction is first order with respect to $H_2$ and second order with respect to NO. The rate equation is

Arate

= k[H_2][NO]^2

Brate

= k[H_2]^2[NO]^2

Crate

= k[H_2][NO]

Drate

= k[H_2]^2[NO]

Explanation

Each concentration is raised to the power of its own order, giving an overall order of three.
