Which method determines the order of a reaction from concentration–time data?
A.Test which plot ([A], ln[A], or 1/[A] vs. time) is linear
B.Measure the color change
C.Balance the equation
D.Add a catalyst
Explanation
Core Concept
Each order linearizes a different function of [A]. The straight-line plot identifies the order and its slope gives k.
Correct Answer
ATest which plot ([A], ln[A], or 1/[A] vs. time) is linear
