What is the overall order of the reaction and the order with respect to [O3]?
Consider the reaction
2O3(g) -> 3O2(g)
rate = k[O3]^2 [O2]^−1 .
What is the overall order of the reaction and the order with respect to [O3]?
there are answer choices:
1. −1 and 3
2. 0 and 1
3. 1 and 2
4. 3 and 2
5. 2 and 2
Please explain how to do it too, I need to know how to work it out.

When you are given a rate equation, let say
rate = k [A]^x [B]^y [C]^z
we can say that the order of reaction with respect to (wrt) A is x.
The order of reaction wrt B is y and
the order of reaction wrt C is z.
The overall order of reaction is x + y + z
So, the answer to your question is obvious.
It is 3) 1 and 2
overall order is 2 + (-1) = 1
rate = k [A]^x [B]^y [C]^z
we can say that the order of reaction with respect to (wrt) A is x.
The order of reaction wrt B is y and
the order of reaction wrt C is z.
The overall order of reaction is x + y + z
So, the answer to your question is obvious.
It is 3) 1 and 2
overall order is 2 + (-1) = 1
