In this problem, we're going to take a look at problem 47 and then decide whether the reaction is first or second order.
00:09
So if we take a look at the graph, we plotted the concentration of reactant versus time.
00:16
So that can either be first or second order.
00:19
So in order to determine for sure, we're going to do ellen of the concentration versus time.
00:27
And we see that this fits the graph for a second order reaction.
00:34
Now we want to find the rate constant graphically.
00:41
So when we plot one over a, so that will be the reciprocal of the concentration versus time, then what happens is we end up getting this straight line, and then we're going to just get the slope of the line, is equal to k.
01:08
And we're going to report that to two sig -fix...
