Hi everyone. So you were given a reaction and they were given the right law for the reaction. We were asked to determine the order of the reaction with respect to A. B. And C. In the overall right order, we know that the rate law equation is generally rate. It was the right constant times concentration of A. The power of X. And X. Is the order with respect to a last construction of beat the power of why and why is the order with respect to be. So the right order is expanded to which the concentration of that species is raised. So for a We have an exponent of one. So this is gonna be first order ruby. You have an exponent of one is also gonna be first order. Percy. You have an explanation too. It's gonna be second order. And for the overall rate order we have the sum of all the individual right orders. We have one plus one plus two. Let's give us four. Thanks for watching my video and I hope it was helpful.
