The decomposition of a toxic chemical was investigated in a laboratory study by gathering concentration (mg/L) data over a range of sampling times (hr). The results were plotted and the best fit line was found on a plot of concentration as a function of time. For this linear regression, the \"y-intercept\" was equal to o.a mg/L and the slope was o.52 mg/L-hr Determine: i. What is the reaction order? (3 points) .ur i. What is the rate constant? (4 points)

Solution

Solution

i) here the equation is straight line graph if plotted as concentration as a function of time.hence this is zero order reaction.

ii) for zero order reaction rate constan is equal to slope of graph.hence, rate constant will be 0.52mg/l-hr
