Reaction order

Exercise 7

Concerning reaction $2NOCl(g)\longrightarrow 2NO(g) +Cl_2(g)$ following measures have been made:

$t$$[NOCl](M)$$ln[NOCl]$$\frac{1}{[NOCl]}$
00.0250-3.6940.0
2000.0202-3.9049.5
4000.0169-4.0859.2
7000.0136-4.3073.5
9000.0120-4.4283.3

Find on a graph the order of this reaction with respect to $NOCl$!

As $\frac{1}{[NOCl]}=f(t)$ is linear, the reaction is second order with respect to $NOCl$!
