One of the purposes of this lab is to determine the order of the reaction with respect to the Allura Red dye by creating first and second-order graphs for all four trials. The correct order of the reaction is the one where the slopes of the graphs for the four trials are roughly the same. Why is this important when choosing the order of the reaction

Hello the options related to your question are attached below

The slope is related to the rate constant so all four trials should have the same slope since the reactions are all the same ( Option C )

Explanation:

It is important when choosing the order of the reaction because the concentration of the bleaches used in the four trials are in excess hence their slopes have to be roughly the same and also because the reactions are similar and they where done at the same temperature, hence the slope of the first and second-order graphs will be the same.
