Explain what is meant by order of reaction.
Using the table data, determine the order of reaction for each reactant, $\text{ClO}_2$ and $\text{OH}^-$. Justify your answer.
Using your answer to (a)(ii), write the rate equation for this reaction.
Use your rate equation together with the data from experiment 1 to calculate the rate constant, $k$, for this reaction. Include the units of $k$.
Draw the structure of the organic product produced in this reaction.
Using the graph, determine the rate of reaction at $100\,\text{s}$. Show how you obtained your answer.
Sketch a concentration-time graph for a zero-order reaction. Use your graph to suggest how successive half-lives for a zero-order reaction change as the concentration of a reactant decreases. Show this by placing a tick (✓) in the appropriate box in the table.
