A reaction `A_(2)+B_(2)rarr 2AB` occurs by the following mechanism:
`Ararr A+A`… (slow)
`A+B_(2)rarr AB+B`… (fast)
`A+Brarr AB` … (fast)
Its order would be

A

`3//2`

B

`1`

C

Zero

D

`2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Slowest step is
`A_(2) rarr A + A (slow)`
Hence, `r = k[A_(2)]`
Therefore, `OR = 1`
