For a reaction with rate law rate = k [A]^2 [B], determine the overall order and how to experimentally determine the exponents

• A. Overall order is 3; determine exponents by varying [A] and [B] independently and observing rate changes.
• B. Overall order is 2; vary [A] and [B] together
• C. Overall order is 3; measure temperature only
• D. Overall order is 1; measure initial concentrations

Answer: (A)
