The following initial-rate data were collected for the reaction X + Y → products. Trial [X]₀ (M) [Y]₀ (M) Initial rate (M·s⁻¹) 1 0.100 0.100 2.5×10⁻⁴ 2 0.100 0.300 7.5×10⁻⁴ 3 0.200 0.100 5.0×10⁻⁴ Identify which pair of trials is most appropriate for determining the reaction order with respect to Y, and briefly explain why that pair is chosen.
