(a)
Interpretation:
The rate law has to be written for the given elementary reaction.
Concept Introduction:
For elementary reactions, rate law can be written using stoichiometry. The order of unimolecular reaction is one and bimolecular reaction is two. In a bimolecular reaction if the reactants are different then order with respect to each reactant will be one in order to make the overall order two.
