Respuesta :
A plot of 1/[a] versus time produces a line with a positive slope for the reaction a → b+ c. The reaction may be a second order reaction.
What is order of a reaction?
The strength of the rate's dependency on the reactant concentration determines the reaction's order. As a result, the speed of a first-order reaction will undoubtedly depend on the concentration of a single species, a second-order reaction will undoubtedly depend upon the concentration of two species, and so on.
rate = k{[A]^x + [B]^y}
Thus, for the given reaction, order is 2, that's a plot of 1/[a] vs time producing a straight line with positive slope shows second order kinetics.
How does one know if its a second-order reaction?
Determine the reaction order and therefore the rate constant. If a plot of reactant concentration versus time isn't linear, but a plot of 1/reaction concentration versus time is linear, then the reaction is second order
