For a reaction, `Cl_(2)(g) + 2NO(g) to 2NOCl(g)` ,the rate law is expressed as rate = `k[Cl_(2)][NO]^(2)`. What is the order of the reaction?

Explanation

To determine the order of the reaction given the rate law, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Identify the Rate Law
The rate law for the reaction is given as:
\[ \text{Rate} = k[\text{Cl}_2][\text{NO}]^2 \]

### Step 2: Identify the Powers of Concentrations
In the rate law, the concentrations of the reactants are raised to certain powers:
