Determining the Order and Rate Constant from Experimental Data

6 Determining the Order and Rate Constant from Experimental Data 

Sometimes it is easy to determine the order directly from the experimental data, though in general this does not happen. 

Question. Find the orders of the following reactions by inspection, then calculate the rate constants. 

Data are rarely as obvious as in the above examples, and the relation of rate to concentration often cannot be found by inspection e.g., the orders of the following reactions are not obvious (Table 3.1).
