Order and rate law of a reaction
The overall order of an elementary step directly corresponds to its molecularity. Both steps in this
example are second order because they are each bimolecular. Furthermore, the rate law can be
determined directly from the number of each type of molecule in an elementary step. For example, the
rate law for step 1 is
rate = k[NO2]?
The exponent "2" is used because the reaction involves two NO2 molecules. The rate law for step 2
is
rate = k[NO3]'[C0]! = k[NO3][CO]
because the reaction involves only one molecule of each reactant the exponents are omitted.
Analyzing a new reaction
Consider the following elementary steps that make up the mechanism of a certain reaction:
1. 2X→Y+ Z
2. Y + 2L→M+Z
