Detailed Solution

 

order of a reaction : order of a reaction is equal to the sum of powers of concentration of the reactants in rate law expression.
For any chemical reaction, xA+yB Product 
 Rate =k[A]x[B]y and Order =x+y
Order of a reaction can be a fraction also. It is not always equal to sum of the stoichiometric coefficients of reactants in the balanced chemical equation. For a reaction, it may or may not be equal to sum of stoichiometric coefficient of reactants.
