Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The order of a reaction in a reactant [A] is determined by how the rate of the reaction changes as the concentration of [A] changes. If the rate does not change with the concentration of [A], the reaction is zero order in [A]. If the rate changes linearly with the concentration of [A], it is first order in [A]. If the rate changes with the square of the concentration of [A], it is second order in [A], and so on. Without the specific details from Exhibit 13-4, the most common scenario or assumption based on typical reaction order questions would be a first-order reaction when only one option is correct and no specific data is provided.
