OK, check your label for the orange line. How do you know if a reaction is 1st, 2nd, 3rd, nth order?

i assumed (and checked w/ google) it's a 1st order since [SO2Cl2] is raised to ^1.

...and if this was an unknown reaction? or perhaps in non open book conditions. What characteristics do first order reactions have regarding concentrations etc?
