Question
X → Products
A student studied the kinetics of the reaction represented above by measuring the concentration of the reactant, X, over time. The data are plotted in the graph below.
[VISUAL]
Which of the following procedures will allow the student to determine the rate constant, k, for the reaction?
A.✓ Correct
Plot ln [X] versus time and determine the magnitude of the slope.
B.
Plot 1/[X] versus time and determine the magnitude of the slope.
C.
Run another trial of the experiment with a different initial concentration, plot the data on the same graph, and see where the curves intersect.
D.
Run another trial of the experiment at a different temperature, plot the data on the same graph, and see where the curves have the same slope.
