Determining Rate Equations

Use concentration-time graphs to deduce the rate of a reaction

Use initial concentration-time data to deduce the initial rate of a reaction

Use rate–concentration data or graphs to deduce the order (0, 1 or 2) with respect to a reactant

Derive the rate equation for a reaction from the orders with respect to each of the reactants

Use the orders with respect to reactants to provide information about the rate-determining/limiting step of a reaction.
