Determining the Order of a Chemical Reaction

Solution Preview

The attached file contains a complete solution.

To show that the reaction is first order, plot the experimental data according to the equation for a first order reaction:

ln[G]=ln[G]o-kt, where
[G] = concentration of glucose
[G]o = concentration of glucose at time zero
k = rate constant
t = time

The above equation is in the form of a linear relation (y=slope*x+intercept), where y=ln[G], ...
