For the elementary step of a chemical reaction :
H2 + I2 =2HI
rate of reaction alpha [H2 ] [I2 ]
What is the (i) molecularity and (ii) order of the reaction.
Molecularity = Order of reaction = 2
Two molecule are combining to give the products. So, mlecularity is 2.
In the rate expression, the sum of powers of the reactants is 2. So, order of the reaction is 2.
