For a second-order reaction, the rate constant $$k$$ is the slope of the graph of $$\frac{1}{[\mathrm{A}]}$$ versus $$t$$. Based on this information and the data given, calculate the rate constant $$k$$ for the reaction. Express your answer in $$M^{?1}?{\min }^{?1}$$ to three significant figures. Examine experimental data Consider a second-order reaction in which reactant $$\mathrm{A}$$ decomposes according to the chemical equation $$2\mathrm{A}?$$ products. The data given below is the time, in minutes, and the corresponding change in the concentration of reactant A for this reaction.
