Plot versus time. What shape does the curve take? Is it linear, parabolic, exponential, Ctablet etc.? What does this plot represent? What does the slope of this plot represent? Fit the concentration curve to a function, then find the derivative of the function. This is the rate of reaction. To find the rate constant and reaction order, you can fit the rate of reaction to Ctablet. What reaction order did you determine? How do your results compare to other groups? Consider the following generic chemical reactions: A P (R1) A + B P + W (R2)
