Why can we not determine the order of a reaction by taking into consideration the balanced chemical equation?
Why can we not determine the order of a reaction by taking into consideration the balanced chemical equation?

Order of a reaction is involved in a reaction. In complex reactions, rate and order of the reaction depend on the slow reaction, so in such cases, the order does not depend entirely on the balanced chemical equation. Thus, we cannot determine the order by considering the chemical balance of the equations.
