Question

For a complex stoichiometric reaction $A + B \rightarrow C$, the rate law is $r = k[A]^x [B]^y$. The following data matrix is provided: Exp 1: $[A]=0.1\text{ M}, [B]=0.1\text{ M}, \text{Rate}=0.04$. Exp 2: $[A]=0.2\text{ M}, [B]=0.1\text{ M}, \text{Rate}=0.16$. Exp 3: $[A]=0.1\text{ M}, [B]=0.2\text{ M}, \text{Rate}=0.04$. Calculate the overall integer order of the reaction ($x+y$).
