The reaction $A_2 + B_2 \rightarrow 2AB$ follows the mechanism $A_2 \underset{k_{-1}}{\stackrel{k_1}{\rightleftharpoons}} 2A$ (fast),$A + B_2 \xrightarrow{k_2} AB + B$ (slow),$A + B \rightarrow AB$ (fast). The overall order of the reaction is:

  • A
    $1.5$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $2.5$
  • D
    $2$
