\subsubsection{Finding the order with respect to Potassium Peroxidisulfate}  The relationship between the rate and concentration of Potassium Peroxidisulfate was much more clearly linear, even with the origin included as a point. Thus, it was not necessary to plot another graph to prove this. If the origin were not included, the y-intercept would be negative, indicating a similar systematic error as the experiments finding the order of Potassium Iodide, which is not surprising, although it is of a lesser magnitude. The order of the reaction with respect to Potassium Peroxidisulfate was taken to be first order. It is also notable that decreasing the concentration of Potassium Peroxidisulfate did not affect the rate of reaction as much as Potassium Iodide.
