Hi, I read from your article . It stated that the 2 nd order graph of Rate versus (conc.)² is a straight line. Shouldn’t it be a parabola curve? How’s about the 3 rd order graph of Rate versus (conc.)^3 ?
Can you please explain? Thank you.

Dear student,
As we know that,

Rate=k[conc.]^order(here order is 2)
so, Rate=k[conc.]^2 and the graph between rate and conc^2 will be same as y =mx. i.e straight line.
similarly, for rate vs[conc.]^3 will be straight line.
