When the reaction A---->B+C is studied, a plot 1/[A] vs. time gives a straight line with a positive slope. What is the order of the reaction?

A)Zero
B)First
C)Second
D)Third
E)More information is needed to determine the order.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer is C.

Look tothe integral form of reaction rate law for a second order.

If rate =k[A]²

Then 1/[A] = 1/[Ao] +kt

i.e., 1/[A] is a linear function of t

1/[Ao] and k are constant.
