Problem

A plot of half-life

t_{1/2}

versus initial concentration

[A]_0

for a reaction yields a straight line that passes through the origin with slope

80\,\text{s}\cdot\text{M}^{-1}

. (a) State the reaction order with respect to A. (b) Determine the numerical value of the rate constant

k

and give its units.
