To determine the rate law for the reaction that was given, nh40h, aqueous, going to nh3 aqueous as a liquid, we need to plot the data.
00:24
I'm not quite sure of any other easier way to do this.
00:28
If we plot the data, the concentration of nh4 .o .h as a function of time, one over the concentration, and the natural log of the concentration, we can determine the order of the reaction by identifying which one gives us the best straight line.
00:50
The best straight line is actually determined or obtained with the natural log of the concentration.
00:58
We see a little curve on this one, a curve on this one, and this one has a straight line with an r -squared value of 1.

So if it's the natural log of concentration that gives us the best straight line as a function of time, then its first order with respect to ammonium hydroxide...
