Measuring the reaction rates of iodide catalyzed decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, we have multiple rate constants, k, at the same temperature for different concentrations of iodide. From a graph of the rate constant versus the iodide concentration, we are supposed to estimate the order of reaction with respect to iodide.
Now, I have driven myself in circles reasoning this out. For the above graph, what on earth should it look like? Positive slope, no slope?
Thanks in advance for any input!
