Question

Listed below are some data that were collected on a solution of the green chloro complex as a function of time during its conversion to the aquo complex.  
Copy these data into your notebook or cut and paste these values into a spreadsheet program. Use this data and the integrated forms of the rate laws to determine the order of the reaction. You must plot all 3 graphs to determine which yields a straight line. The plot that gives a clear straight line identifies the order of the reaction. Report the order of the reaction and attach all graphs

Time (min.)	Concentration (M)
0	0.0167
2.3731	0.0152
5.1382	0.0134
11.6242	0.0097
13.7826	0.0089
16.2625	0.0081
20.9366	0.0066
24.2205	0.0057
28.2713	0.0048
33.154	0.0039
36.438	0.0033
42.401	0.0025
44.8928	0.0023
49.5439	0.0018
52.8348	0.0016
57.7936	0.0012

Answer 1

Since time versus ln (concentration) gives a straight line, the reaction is first order.
