Problem

A chemist investigated the reaction D + E → products and obtained the following initial-rate data. Minor experimental uncertainty is present in the measured rates. Trial [D]₀ (M) [E]₀ (M) Initial rate (M·s⁻¹) 1 0.200 0.100 5.1×10⁻⁵ 2 0.200 0.200 1.03×10⁻⁴ 3 0.100 0.100 2.6×10⁻⁵ 4 0.300 0.100 7.6×10⁻⁵ Using the most reliable comparison of trials, determine the reaction order with respect to E.
