Question

Consider the reaction A ⟶Products

Use the following rate data to determine the order of the reaction with respect to the reactant A.

     [A] (M)               Initial Rate (M/s)

     0.10            0.015

     0.20            0.015

Answer 1

The reaction is zero order in [A].

Doubling [A] from 0.10 mol·L⁻¹ to 0.20 mol·L⁻¹ has no effect on the initial rate.
