A systematic numerical procedure

Since rate = k [reactant] a series of values of the rates at various [reactant] can give the order and rate constant as follows  

The k in the numerator and denominator cancel and each ratio can be evaluated, from which n can be found as 

If the value of n is not clear from a direct comparison of the ratios then a log/log plot will give a systematic procedure  

Question. Use the following data to find n and k in this way, and compare this method with methods 3.7.1 and 3.7.2.
