In the initial-rate method for determining reaction order, which plot is used to deduce the order with respect to a particular reactant?

In the initial-rate method for determining reaction order, which plot is used to deduce the order with respect to a particular reactant?

• A. Plot initial rate versus [A] while holding other reactants constant; this reveals the order with respect to A.
• B. Plot final concentration against time.
• C. Plot rate constant as a function of temperature.
• D. Plot [A] vs time to monitor depletion.

Answer: (A)
