(a) Interpretation: The order of the reaction should be determined using given data. Concept introduction: The rate law/rate equation for a chemical reaction is an equation that indicates the relationship between reaction rate and concentrations or pressures of the reactants and other constant parameters. For zero-order reactions, the reaction rate is independent of the concentration of a reactant. A first order reaction depends on the concentration of only one reactant. The rate of a second-order reaction may be proportional to one concentration squared.
