  • Zero
  • Three
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The overall reaction order is calculated by summing the exponents of the concentration terms within the rate law. For the given rate expression, Rate = k[A]$^\frac{1}{2}$[B]$^\frac{3}{2}$, the individual concentration exponents are:

The exponent for [A] is $\frac{1}{2}$.

The exponent for [B] is $\frac{3}{2}$.

Summing these exponents yields the overall order:

Overall order = $\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{3}{2}$ = 2
