Expert Solution
Step 1

Rate law:- It gives the relation between the reactants and the rate of reaction.

It is derived experimentally.

 

The plot of Concentration Vs Time is Linear for Zero order reaction.

The plot of ln[Concentration] Vs Time is Linear for First order reaction.

The plot of 1/[Concentration] Vs Time is Linear for Second order reaction.

 

Rate constant = k = slope of the line.
