Question

the following data were collected. time, s [A], M 0 1.00 1 0.430 2 0.270 3 0.200 4 0.160 What is the order of the reaction and the rate constant

Answer 1

Answer:

I'll give you the graphs that you need to look at:1st order: the graph you need to make is ln[A] vs t. If you get a straight line, the reaction is 1st order and the slope will equal to the rate constant K.2nd order: the graph you need to make is 1/ln[A] vs t. If this graph shows a straight line, the reaction is 2nd order and the slope will equal the rate constant K.
