The Plot That Comes Out Straight

You'll learnto find the order from the transformed plot that comes out straight, whose slope gives k.

You watch one reactant disappear, bend the same six measurements three different ways, and exactly one of them lands on a straight line. That plot names the order, and its slope hands you k. The catch is that the wrong plot can look straight too. Twelve short steps; press Next for each one.

Before you start

What you're looking at

A raw curve of [A] falling from 0.100 M, sampled every 20 seconds, beside a data ledger.

The question

The curve just falls and slows — which order is it, and how could you tell?
