For a reaction 2a (aq) + bc (aq) = ab (s) + ac (l), the order of reaction with respect to a is 2 and the overall order of reaction is 2, describe methods to increase the rate of the reaction and explain how the methods work?

As, overall order of reaction is 2 indicates the rate of reaction is only depending on concentration of A and its rate of reaction can be shown as:

R = K [A]^2

So, by increasing the concentration of A, the rate of reaction increases.

b) mutualism

hope this : )

we need the questions , i may then you.
