From the following data, construct 3 graphs: [A] vs t, ln[A] vs t, and 1/[A] vs t
a) determine the order of the reaction from the graphs.
b) from the one graph that is linear, determine the rate constant, k.
You do not need to calculate the slopes of the nonlinear graphs.

First data set:
a)
The plot of [A] vs time is a straight line with negative slope. This is characteristic of zero order reaction.
b)
The rate constant slope
Second data set:
a)
The plot of ln[A] vs time is a straight line with negative slope. This is characteristic of first order reaction.
b)
The rate constant slope
