For a certain chemical reaction, the slope of the plot was determined and plotted against the concentration (a-x)2 and a straight line was obtained. It indicates that the reaction is of:
Correct answer: B. Second order
- A. First order
- B. Second order
- C. Third order
- D. Zero order
Explanation
As a straight line is obtained it means rate increases with increase in concentration and the concentration is square so it's second order.

About Chemical Equilibrium
Reversible reactions reach dynamic equilibrium when forward and reverse rates become equal, and Le Chatelier's principle predicts the effect of changing concentration, pressure or temperature. The chapter also covers solubility product, the common ion effect, buffer action and the conditions used in Haber's process, with equilibrium shifts distinguished from changes in the equilibrium constant.

A catalyst is more effective when it is in the finely divided state because:
Change in concentration of a reactant is plotted against time and the slope dx/dt determined. The values of dx/dt are plotted against (a-x)2 and a straight line is obtained. It may be concluded that the reaction is:
