(N/A) $(1)$ Rate law (or rate equation or rate expression) is the expression in which reaction rate is given in terms of molar concentration of reactants with each term raised to some power,which may or may not be equal to the stoichiometric coefficient of the reacting species in a balanced chemical equation.
$(2)$ $A$ reaction is said to be unimolecular if only one reacting species is involved in the elementary step of the reaction,for example,the decomposition of $N_2O_5$ $(N_2O_5 \rightarrow N_2O_4 + \frac{1}{2}O_2)$.

Which of the following is a unimolecular reaction?

Consider the following data for the given reaction $2 HI_{(g)} \rightarrow H_{2_{(g)}} + I_{2_{(g)}}$. The order of the reaction is:
Experiment $1$ $2$ $3$
$[HI] \ (mol \ L^{-1})$ $0.005$ $0.01$ $0.02$
Rate $(mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1})$ $7.5 \times 10^{-4}$ $3.0 \times 10^{-3}$ $1.2 \times 10^{-2}$

For a reaction $A + B \to$ product,it was found that the rate of reaction increases four times if the concentration of $A$ is doubled,but the rate of reaction remains unaffected if the concentration of $B$ is doubled. Hence,the rate law for the reaction is

The following are the rate constants of two different reactions. What is the overall order of each reaction?
$(a)$ $2.1 \times 10^{-2} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1}$
$(b)$ $4.5 \times 10^{-3} \ min^{-1}$

For a given reaction $t_{1/2} = \frac{1}{k \cdot a}$,the order of reaction will be:
