Given information
A graph that shows a plot of the rate of a reaction versus the
concentration of the reactant A for the reaction
From part A: We have found that the reaction is first order with respect to A.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
If our simple reaction is first order, the rate is equal to the rate constant multiplied by the concentration of A.
where, k is the rate constant and [A] is the concentration of reactant "A"
Since the given reaction is first order with respect to A.
The rate of the reaction increases with an increase in the concentration of A to the power of one.
This is shown here in the given graph:
