Part C: Given the information in parts A and B, could the two reactions discussed be identical?
They could be the same reaction because the order with respect to A and the specific rate constant (and units) are the same.
They cannot be the same reaction, because the integrated and differential rate law are unrelated.
They cannot be the same reaction, because in Part A the reactant was listed as M and in Part B it was listed as A.
They can be the same reaction because the integrated and differential rate laws are unrelated.
