The differential rate expression is given by:
Rate $= -\frac{1}{5} \frac{d[Br^{-}]}{dt} = -\frac{d[BrO_3^{-}]}{dt} = -\frac{1}{6} \frac{d[H^{+}]}{dt} = \frac{1}{3} \frac{d[Br_2]}{dt} = \frac{1}{3} \frac{d[H_2 O]}{dt}$.
The order of the reaction is $3$ (it is a third-order reaction).

For the reaction: $2A + B \to A_2B$; the rate $= K[A][B]^2$ with $K = 2.0 \times 10^{-6} \ L^2 \ mol^{-2} \ s^{-1}$. Initial concentrations of $A$ and $B$ are $[A]_0 = 0.2 \ mol/L$ and $[B]_0 = 0.4 \ mol/L$ respectively. Calculate the rate of reaction after $[A]$ is reduced to $0.12 \ mol/L$.

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
