Answer to Question #55573 in General Chemistry for Joshua

Question

The table to the right gives the concentrations of C2H4O(g) as a function of time at a certain temperature for the following reaction C2H4O->CH4+CO. Verify that this is a first order reaction by plotting in [C2H4O] versus time and determining the value of the rate constant

Table-
C2H4O: Time (min):
0.0860 0.00
0.0465 56.0
0.0355 80.0
0.0274 103.0
0.0174 144.0
