General Reaction : $a \mathrm{~A}+b \mathrm{~B} \rightarrow c \mathrm{C}+d \mathrm{D}$

The differential rate expression of reaction is as under.

Rate $=-\frac{\mathrm{d}[\mathrm{R}]}{\mathrm{dt}}=k[\mathrm{~A}]^{x}[\mathrm{~B}]^{y}$

Where, the value of $x$ and $y$ are determine experimentally which are same or not to $a$ and $b$.

Where, $x$ and $y$ indicate how sensitive the rate is to the change in concentration of $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$.

$(i)$ $x$ represent the order with respect to the reactant $\mathrm{A}$.

$(ii)$ $y$ represent the order with respect to the reactant $\mathrm{B}$.

$(iii)$ $(x+y)=$ Overall order of a reaction.

Order of Reaction : The sum of powers of the concentration of the reactants in the rate law expression is called the order of that chemical reaction.

Order of a reaction can be $0,1,2,3$ and even a fraction, these values are always determined by experimentally.

The mechanism of the reaction,

$2NO(g) + 2{H_2}(g) \to {N_2}(g) + 2{H_2}O(g)$ is :

Step $1$ : $2NO(g) + {H_2}(g)\xrightarrow{{slow}}{N_2} + {H_2}{O_2}$

Step : $2$ ${H_2}{O_2} + {H_2}\xrightarrow{{fast}}2{H_2}O$
