Integrated Rate Equations

Hi everybody!

Today we learned about the different graphs for different orders of reactions. A zero order reaction rate has [A] on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. A first order reaction rate has ln[A] on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. Lastly, a second order reaction rate has 1/[A] on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

A way that may help you remember that the first order has the ln[A] on the y-axis is that the 'l' in 'ln' looks like a 1! Hope that helps a little bit!
