Answer:
1) first order
2) second order
3) zero order
Explanation:
The curve of a first order reaction shows it to be exponential. In fact for a first order reaction, the concentration at a time t is an exponential function;
[A]t= [Ao] e^-kt
Where
[A]t = concentration at time =t
[Ao]= initial concentration
k= rate constant
t= time
For a second order reaction, the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of reactants.
For zero order reactions, rate of reaction is independent of concentration hence rate = k(rate constant)
The lightbulb, the fire, and the Sun all create light from some energy source.
The Moon doesn't create light. The parts of it that the Sun shines on
are visible, the parts of it that the Sun doesn't shine on are not visible.
Just like a rock on the ground at night, the Moon must be illuminated
by a flashlight in order to be seen. The Sun is the flashlight.
