For a reaction A+B\rightarrow products, the rate law is — Rate = k [A][B]^{3/2}. Can the reaction be an elementary reaction? Explain.

Answers (1)

Given that the rate of reaction is k[A][B]^{\frac{3}{2}}

Order =1+\frac{3}{2}=\frac{5}{2}

The order of elementary reaction cannot be fractional. 

Hence, this indicates that the reaction is not an elementary reaction.
