Reaction Order

If the overall reaction is the sum of the order of the reagents, and:

Zero order = changing concentration of the reactant does not affect the reaction rate.
First order = doubling the concentration of any reactant doubles the reaction rate
Second order = doubling the concentration of any reactant quadruples the reaction


Experiments show that, in the following reaction, doubling A doubled the reaction rate and the overall reaction order was 2.  What is the reaction order?

1, 2, 3, 4 or 5

Note:  there are very few, if any 3rd order reactions in any one reactant.  Assume the temp is constant.
