Problem
Two measurements of the half-life for reactant A were recorded with their associated uncertainties.
• Trial 1: [A]0=0.60M, t1/2=90±5s
• Trial 2: [A]0=0.30M, t1/2=93±5s
Considering the experimental uncertainty, which reaction order with respect to A cannot be ruled out?
(a) Second order
(b) First order
(c) Zero order
(d) Third order
