Finding Rate Law from Concentration vs Time Data

In this lesson, Mike discusses and strategizes how we should solve the worst kinetic problem scenario:

The one where they give is a bunch of numbers of concentration reactant vs. time and they NEVER tell us the reaction order!

Mike has a a strategy. We shall survive.

Those first 30 seconds were my exact :O

Thank you, Mike! The Aleks platform and other YouTube videos were far from helpful. It makes more sense to find the k values for two points with each integrated equation since these are constants. As well as list the y values for each order equation and look at the difference between two points to observe a constant change! My program had me calculating all of the integrated y-values and then trying to plot those by hand, and only afterward finding the k values by taking delta concentration change over delta time. I really thought this was the topic my mind was going to break and I would finally declare insanity! :)

I have a trouble, what should i do, if i get non linear for 1st and 2nd orde? In firts trial i get 26% eror at first orde and get more than 26% eror at 2nd orde. Could i define that the orde is 1st orde ? Hopefully you see and help me to find a way 😢
