The plot of concentration of a reactant vs time for a chemical reaction is shown below. The order of this reaction with respect to the reactant is
Options
- A0
- B1
- C2
- Dnot possible to determine from this plot
Correct answer
A. 0
Step-by-step solution
For a reaction X ⟶ Y rate = - d [ X ] d t ; [ X ] = concentration of X If reaction is n th order, rate ∝ [ X ] n From the graph, the slope d [ X ] d t is constant. ∴ Rate is constant at any concentration. ∴ n = 0
