For a reaction `A+ B to ` Products, the rate law is -Rate `= k[A][B]^(3//2)`
Can the reaction be an elementray reaction ? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, the given reaction cannot be an elementary reaction. This is because the elementary step of the slowest step involves 1 molecule of A and `3//2` molecules of B, i.e., fractional.
