In reference to your question, at the bottom of page 232 under the
astrics sign states: The general overall order of a reaction is equal
to the sum of the exponents a and b in the rate equation:
Rate = k[A]a [B]b (a and b should be superscript)
if in some other reaction, for example, we found that the
Rate = k[A]2 [B] (2 is superscript)
then we would say that the reaction is second order wth respect to [A],
first order with respect to [B], and third order overall. Hope that
helps.
