Slope From
Can someone please explain why it is important for us to know the slope-intercept form for some of the equations?

Re: Slope From
For zero order,
y-intercept is initial concentration and slope is -k (rate constant)
For first order,
y-intercept is the natural logarithm of initial concentration and slope is -k
For second order,
y-intercept is the inverse of initial concentration and slope is k
The slope-intercept form just help you remember these equations.

Re: Slope From
The slope form is important in identifying the rate constant and also the order when given concentrations.

Re: Slope From
By plotting the experimental data vs time, you would be able to identify the order of the reaction depending on whether [A] vs time, ln[A] vs time , or 1/[A] vs time gave you a straight line plot, where A is the reactant. Also, the slope would tell you what k is.
