This document discusses kinetic graphs and reaction orders, showing different order plots and asking why students must determine the units of the rate constant. It also references a yellow/blue switcheroo technique used in chemistry labs at the University of Michigan.

1. Kinetic Graphs

5. Zero
order
1st
order

6. 3rd order

11. ___ order

12. 2nd order

13. ___ order

14. Zero order

16. zero

17. The units for the rate constant
In the real world are __________

18. The units for the rate constant
In the real world are __________

19. Why does Mr. K make us find
the units for the rate constant then?

20. Why does Mr. K make us find
the units for the rate constant then?

21. And now let’s see the famous
YELLOW/BLUE switcheroo,
used at U of M Chem labs.
