A. first order, In[A]t versus t B. first order, 1/[A]t versus t C. second order, In[A]t versus t D. second order, 1/[A]t versus t

Alyvia Beltran · Answer 1

D. second order, 1/[A]t versus t

Explanation:

Since the power of the concentration is 2 in the rate law, it is a second order reaction. Also, for a second order reaction, the variables that would yield a straight line when graphed are 1/[A]t versus t
