A student plots their concentration and time data from a lab they performed to determine the order of a reaction. When they first plotted concentration vs time, the best fit line was not linear. However, when they plotted ln [A] vs time, a linear line was created. What is the order of the reaction? First Zero Second Not enough information to determine the order
