The results of the integration of these simple rate laws can be summarized in the following table.
| Order | Elementary Reaction | Integrated rate law | Linear plot |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | - | \( [A] = [A]_o -kt\) | \([A]\) vs. \(t\) |
| 1 | \(A \rightarrow P\) | \( \ln [A] = \ln [A]_o - kt \) \([ [A] = [A]_o e^{-kt}\) |
\(\ln[A]\) vs. \(t\) |
| 2 | \(A + A \rightarrow P\) | \( \dfrac{1}{[A]} = \dfrac{1}{[A]_o} + kt\) | \(\dfrac{1}{[A]}\) vs. \(t\) |
| \(A + B \rightarrow P\) | \(\dfrac{1}{[B]_0-[A]_0} \ln \left( \dfrac{[B][A]_o}{[A][B]_o} \right) = kt\) | \(\ln \left( \dfrac{[B]}{[A]} \right)\) vs. \(t\) |
