The reaction order‚ based on the rate law‚ was first order with respect to crystal violet and second order with respect to OH-. The rate law was as follows: Rate law = k [CV]1[OH-]1 where k equaled 2.61. In order to determine the reaction order with respect to crystal violet‚ the graph that described the relationship between ln[CV] and time (seconds) was Figure 2. Not only did Figure 2 generate a more linear relationship‚ but it had the highest R2 value of 0.992 than ([CV] versus time) and ([1/CV]
