The rate law for the gas-phase reaction :

2NO2(g) + O2(g) → 2NO2(g) is rate = k [NO2]2 [O2]. 

What is the order of the reaction with respect to each of the reactants and what is the overall order of the reaction?

Given : 

2NO2(g) + O2(g) → 2NO2(g)

Rate = k [NO2]2 [O2]

Order of the reaction with respect to NO = nNo = 2

Order with respect to O2 = \(n_{O_2}\) = 1

Overall order of the reaction = n = nNo \(n_{O_2}\) 

= 2 + 1

= 3

∴ Order with respect to NO = 2

Order with respect to O2 = 1

Overall order = 3
