### Step-by-Step Solution **Step 1: Understanding the Order of a Reaction** The order of a reaction is defined as the sum of the powers of the concentration terms in the rate law expression for that reaction. It indicates how the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of the reactants. For example, if the rate law is expressed as: \[ \text{Rate} = k[A]^m[B]^n \] where \( [A] \) and \( [B] \) are the concentrations of the reactants and \( m \) and \( n \) are their respective orders, then the overall order of the reaction is \( m + n \). **Step 2: Analyzing the Units of the Rate Constant** ...
