for a reaction
.
If the concentration of A is doubled, the rate of reaction gets doubled and when the concentration of B is increased by 9 times, the rate gets tripled. The order of the reaction is:
2
1
3/2
4/3
Order of a Reaction -
The order of a reaction is determined as the sum of the powers of the concentration terms that appear in the experimental rate equation. It is an experimental quantity.
It can be zero/fraction/negative/positive fractional.
Order = 3/2 =1.5
Therefore, option(3) is correct
