Chapter 12, Problem 28E

For the reaction $Q\to W+X$, the following data were obtained at 30 °C:

[Q]initial (M)	0.170	0.212	0.357
Rate(mol/L/s)	$6.68\times {10}^{-3}$	$1.04\times {10}^{-2}$	$2.94\times {10}^{-2}$

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

(b) What is the rate constant?
