Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction of Order of reaction

If the reaction is zero order, a plot of pressure vs. time will be linear. The formula for a zero-order reaction is: 

box enclose P equals P subscript o plus space k t end enclose

If the reaction is first order, a plot of the natural logarithm of pressure vs. time will be linear. The formula for a first-order reaction is:

box enclose ln space P equals ln space P subscript o plus space k t end enclose

If the reaction is second order, a plot of the reciprocal of pressure vs. time will be linear. The formula for a second-order reaction is:

box enclose 1 over P equals 1 over P subscript o plus space k t end enclose
