What is the value for the rate constant
Well, a default rate law would include the reactant(s) in the reaction
#A -> B + C#
and so, one would write
#r(t) = k[A]^m#
as a first guess. And we know that the first-order integrated rate law is
#overbrace(ln[A])^(y) = overbrace(-k)^(m)overbrace(t)^(x) + overbrace(ln[A]_0)^(b)# ,
with
Since using the first-order integrated rate law by plotting
#color(blue)(r(t) = k[A])#
because we know
