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
