By varying initial reactant concentrations and measuring reaction rates, it establishes that the reaction is second-order in nitrogen monoxide and first-order in hydrogen, resulting in an overall third-order rate law.

Both concepts emphasize the importance of understanding how quickly an event occurs, whether it's cars on a track or substances in a reaction.
