Which of the following rate laws has an overall order of `0.5` for reaction involving substances `x, y` and `z` ?

Options

A. Rate = `K (C_(x)) (C_(y)) (C_(z))`
B. Rate = `K (C_(x))^(0.5) (C_(y))^(0.5) (C_(z))^(0.5)`
C. Rate = `K(C_(x))^(1.5) (C_(y))^(-1) (C_(z))^(0)`
D. Rate = `K(C_(x)) (C_(z))^(n) // (C_(y))^(2)`

Answer

c

Explanation

Order of reaction is sum of the power raised on concentration terms to express rate expression.
