Show that the following data are consistent with a second-order reaction and determine the second-order rate constant for the reaction. Students may do this by plotting the data three different ways. For each plot, time goes on the x-axis. A zero-order reaction is linear when [NOBr] on the y-axis. A first-order reaction is linear when In [NOBr] is on the y-axis.
