What is meat by the order of reaction?

A series of experiments was conducted to determine the rate of

formation of nitrogen gas; the product of the reaction between nitrogen

monoxide gas and hydrogen gas. The results obtained are tabulated as

follows:

Specify the orders of reaction with respect to NO and H2.

Write the rate equation and calculate the rate constant.

Solution: (a) Order of reaction is the power of reactants concentration in the rate law

equation.

(b) Order of reaction is obtain from experimental data.

Let rate laws , Rate = K[NO]x[H2]y where, K = rate constant

x is order with respect to NO

y is order with respect to H2

Order of reaction with respect to H2:
