Question: The integrated rate laws for zero-, first-, and second-order reaction may be arranged such that they resemble the equation for astraight line, y = m

The integrated rate laws for zero-, first-, and second-order reaction may be arranged such that they resemble the equation for astraight line,y=mx+b.
