The integrated rate laws for zero-, first-, and second-order reaction may be arranged such that they resemble the equation for a straight line,y=mx+b.
Order | Integrated Rate Law | Graph | Slope |
0 | [A]=âkt+[A]0 | [A] vs. t | âk |
1 | ln[A]=âkt+ln[A]0 | ln[A] vs. t | âk |
2 | 1[A]= kt+1[A]0 | 1[A] vs. t | k |
