Chemistry Question on Chemical Kinetics
The plot of concentration of the reactant versus time for a reaction is a straight line with a negative slope. This reaction follows
A
zero order rate equation
B
first order rate equation
C
second order rate equation
D
third order rate equation
Answer
zero order rate equation
Explanation
Solution
For a zero-order reaction, the plot of concentration vs time is a straight line having a negative slope.
A straight line plot of [A] vs time with a negative slope is for a zero-order equation.
