Okay, I need some guidance.
I've tried googling some answers to this question and nothing has really helped me. It's kind of a common sense question, perhaps?
However, my common sense of chemistry reactions is quite low. I am wondering if there is a trick to questions like these...

We were just going over examples of reaction orders in class and I was told 2 things:
