In hypothetical reaction, `A_(2)+B_(2)rarr2AB`, follows the follows the mechnism as given below : `{:(A_(2)hArrA+A,("fast reaction")),(A+B_(2)rarrAB+B
In hypothetical reaction, `A_(2)+B_(2)rarr2AB`, follows the follows the mechnism as given below :
`{:(A_(2)hArrA+A,("fast reaction")),(A+B_(2)rarrAB+B,("slow reaction")),(A+BrarrAB,("fast reaction")):}`

Slowest step is rate eleminated.
`K_(c)=([A][A])/([A_(2)])=([A]^(2))/([A_(2)])`
`[A]=K_(c)^(1//2)[A_(2)]^(1//2)`
From eq. (i), Rate `=kK_(c)^(1//2)[A_(2)]^(1//2)[B_(2)]`
`=K[A_(2)]^(1//2)=[B_(2)],[K=*K_(c)^(1//2)]`
Order =1+1/2=3/2
