Don't Be Tricked by Your Integrated Rate Plot: Reaction Order Ambiguity

Integrated rate equations (for constant reaction volume) may be given in terms of relative reactant concentration, C (= concentration/initial concentration) and relative time, T (= time/half-life); in these forms, the equations are independent of rate constants and initial concentrations.
