This graph shows a plot of the rate of a reaction versus the concentration of the reactant A for the reaction A → products. a. What is the order of the reaction with respect to A?

Video transcript

Hey everyone in this example, we need to use the graph below to determine the order of the reaction with respect to A. So we can look at our X axis and see that it gives us our concentration of A. And units of polarity and at these different concentrations we have on our Y axis, our rate of our reaction in polarities per second. So we can say we have rate versus our concentration of our react in A. And what we can see is that this produced a curved line. And so because we have a curved line produced in our graph, we would say that therefore the reaction is going to be second order with respect to A. And so this would be our final answer being that our reaction is a second order reaction. So I hope that everything I explained was clear. If you have any questions, just leave them down below and I will see everyone in the next practice video.
