Question 2. In a revision session for the topic of 'Kinetics' in the module 'Drugs and Medicines', students were given the following Figure and asked whether the data presented was consistent with zero, first or second order kinetics. 5 4 3 O [X] /mM 2 1 - 0+ 0 5 10 15 20 25 time / min Figure 1. Concentrations (MM) of analyte X as a function of time. Their answer was that the reaction illustrated in Figure 1 follows zero order kinetics. Briefly explain reaction orders and whether you agree or not with the statement above, appropriately justifying your answer and using Equations as required.
