The order of a reaction is the sum of the powers of the concentration of the reactants that appear in the rate equation.
Given the rate equation above, the overall order of the reaction is
2 + 1 = 3

backward reaction is orderlines while the forward reaction is disorderlines
entropy decrease and became ordered in the backward reaction.
therefore disorderliness is 1 while orderliness is the total of the backward reaction which is 2+1= 3 which is D
so.. entropy is negative.

To figure out the overall order of that reaction!
Here's how we look at it:
* Rate Equation: The rate equation tells us how the speed of a reaction depends on the amounts of the reactants. In this problem, it's:
* -Ξ”x/Ξ”t = K[X]^2[Y]
* Order of Reaction: The order tells us how much the reaction rate changes when we change the amount of a reactant. We find the order by looking at the exponents (the little numbers) in the rate equation.
* [X]^2 means the reaction is second order with respect to X.
* [Y] (which is the same as [Y]^1) means the reaction is first order with respect to Y.
* Overall Order: To find the overall order, we add up the individual orders:
* 2 (from X) + 1 (from Y) = 3
So the overall order of the reaction is 3.
Therefore the answer is D. 3.0

To find the overall order of the reaction, you add up the exponents of the concentration terms in the rate equation. In this case, it's 2 for [X] and 1 for [Y], so the overall order is 2 + 1 = 3. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

everyone knows the answer is 3.0

but the crux is where the hell 0.09 came from ...


it actually came from the sky that year but now it lives in Lagos ....don't share this info with anyone.
thank me later.
