Problem

A proposed mechanism leads to the rate expression rate=k[NO]2[Cl2]−1/2\text{rate}=k[\text{NO}]^{2}[\text{Cl}_2]^{-1/2}. Which of the following plots would most directly produce a straight line whose slope gives the reaction order with respect to NO? (a) log⁡(rate)\log(\text{rate}) versus 1/[NO]1/[\text{NO}] (b) rate\text{rate} versus [NO][\text{NO}] (c) log⁡(rate)\log(\text{rate}) versus log⁡[NO]\log[\text{NO}] (d) log⁡(rate)\log(\text{rate}) versus log⁡[Cl2]\log[\text{Cl}_2]
