Chapter 12, Problem 27E

For the reaction $A\to B+C$, the following data were obtained at 30 °C:

[A] (M)	0.230	0.356	0.557
Rate (moI/L/s)	$4.17\times {10}^{-4}$	$9.99\times {10}^{-4}$	$2.44\times {10}^{-3}$

(a) What is the order of the reaction with respect to [A], and what is the rate equation?

(b) What is the rate constant?
