Question:
Why can we not determine the order of a reaction by taking into consideration the balanced chemical equation?
Solution:
Order is an experimental quantity. For example, in complex reactions, the rate and order are dependent on the slow step reactions, so in such cases, the order is not
completely dependent on the balanced chemical equations. We cannot determine the order by taking into consideration the balanced chemical equation.
