Problem

A student collected initial‐rate data for the reaction X → products at various initial concentrations of X. To determine the reaction order with respect to X directly from the slope of a straight line, which of the following plots should the student construct? (a) initial rate\text{initial rate} versus 1/[X]1/[X] (b) 1initial rate\dfrac{1}{\text{initial rate}} versus 1[X]\dfrac{1}{[X]} (c) log⁡(initial rate)\log(\text{initial\,rate}) versus log⁡[X]\log [X] (d) initial rate\text{initial rate} versus [X][X]
