In a reaction between A and B, the initial rate of reaction (r0) was measured for different initial concentrations of A and B as given below:

A / mol L–1 0.20 0.20 0.40
B / mol L–1 0.30 0.10 0.05
ro / mol L–1 s–1 5.07 × 10–5 5.07 × 10–5 1.43 × 10–4


The order of the reaction with respect to A and B would be:

1. The order with respect to A is 0.5 and with respect to B is zero
2. The order with respect to A is 1 and with respect to B is 0.5
3. The order with respect to A is 2 and with respect to B is 1
4. The order with respect to A is 1.5 and with respect to B is zero
