The order of a reaction with respect to a reactant is the exponent to which the concentration of that reactant is raised in the rate equation. The overall order of the reaction is the sum of the orders with respect to each reactant.

In this case, the rate equation is rate = k[A]²[B].

The order of the reaction with respect to A is 2, since the concentration of A is raised to the exponent of 2 in the rate equation.

The order of the reaction with respect to B is 1, since the concentration of B is raised to the exponent of 1 in the rate equation.

Therefore, the overall order of the reaction is (2+1) = 3.
