Expert Solution
Introduction

The sum of all components to which the concentration in rate equation is raised is said to be the reaction's order. As the dependence of rate changes, the reaction's order also changes.

The rate law expression for the above reaction is given as,

Chemistry homework question answer, step 2, image 2

Thus it is clear from the rate law that the order of the given reaction with respect to NO gas is 2.

And the order of the given reaction with respect to H2 gas is 1.

The sum of the order of these reactants will show the overall order of the reaction.

Thus the overall order of the reaction is calculated as,
