Answer: 2.
- A 0
- B 1
- C 2
- D 3
Correct answer: C. 2
Explanation: log(rate) = log k + n × log[A]. The slope of log(rate) vs log[A] equals the order n. Slope 2 means second-order.
First-order decay curve: concentration halves every t½, and that half-life is constant - a defining test for first-order kinetics.
Concept context
Study the speed of reactions and what affects it: concentration, temperature, and catalysts. Covers rate law, order of reaction, the Arrhenius equation, and reaction mechanisms step by step.
