Solution

The correct option is D Order of reaction is 1.5
Molecularity is the number of reacting species (atoms, ions or molecules ) taking part in an elementary reaction.
Since this is not an elementary reaction ( as can be seen from order of reaction) molecularity cannot be predicted until we know the mechanism.
H2+Br22HBr
Order =1+12=32
