Problem

For the reaction A → products, all experimental conditions except the initial concentration of A were kept constant. A plot of

\log(\text{initial rate})

versus

\log[\text{A}]

produced a straight line with slope 0.98. What is the order of the reaction with respect to A? a)

\text{Second order}

\text{Zero order}

\text{First order}

0.98\ \text{order}
