For a reaction of the type, \(2 \mathrm{X}+\mathrm{Y} \rightarrow \mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B}\), the following is the data collected:
.tg {border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;}
.tg td{border-color:black;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;
overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;word-break:normal;}
.tg th{border-color:black;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;
font-weight:normal;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;word-break:normal;}

.tg .tg-0pky{border-color:inherit;text-align:left;vertical-align:top}
| Experiment | \(\mathrm{[X]}\) | \(\mathrm{[Y]}\) | Initial rate of formation of A |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.2 | 0.2 | \(12.0\times10^{-3}\) |
| 2 | 0.6 | 0.4 | \(\mathrm{14.4\times10^{-2}}\) |
| 3 | 0.6 | 0.8 | \(5.76\times10^{-1}\) |
| 4. | 0.8 | 0.2 | \(\mathrm{4.8\times10^{-2}}\) |
What is the overall order of the reaction?
