Here is the problem: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/37/30000899.png/ From this, I got Rate = k [A]^0 ^1. plugging in the data from exp 1, I got 1= k (0.26M), k = 1/(0.26M), however the answer is k = 0.26M. I am wondering how is this the answer?

it seems like your answer is correct. maybe an error...?

I got the same answer as well. What's the source? Might be an error.

It's a question from the general chem section of DAT Q Vault.

Yours is correct I believe. I've read the chem section of qvault has a lot of mistakes, so this is probably one of them!
