    The document provides data from a laboratory experiment studying the reaction A → products. The concentration of A was measured at various times. Using the differential method, the reaction order and rate constant were determined. A plot of log(-dCA/dt) versus log(CA) yielded a slope of 1.38, indicating the reaction is first order. The y-intercept gave the rate constant k as 0.005 L0.38/mol0.38⋅s. Therefore, the reaction order is first order and the rate constant was calculated to be 0.005 L0.38/mol0.38⋅s.
