15. Chemical Kinetics / Rate Law / Problem 2

In vessels 1, 2, and 3, of equal volumes, the reaction X + Y → XY has relative rates of 1:2:1. X molecules are represented by red spheres, and Y molecules are represented by gray spheres.

Three vessels showing red X and gray Y molecules with rates 1:2:1 for chemical kinetics.

Determine the order of reaction in X and Y.
