For zero order reaction, a plot of t 1 / 2 versus [ A ] 0 will be
Options
- AA straight line passing through the origin and slope = K
- BA horizontal line (parallel to x - axis)
- CA straight line with slope - K
- DA straight line passing through origin and slope = 1 2 K
Correct answer
D. A straight line passing through origin and slope = 1 2 K
Step-by-step solution
For zero order reaction :- Rate = K conc . 0 [ A ] 0 is the initial concentration and [ A ] t is the concentration after some time. Over the half life, the concentration also becomes [ A ] 0 2 . So, K = [ A ] 0 - [ A ] 0 2 t 1 2 = [ A ] 0 2 t 1 2 So ,   t 1 2 = [ A ] 0 2 k Graph :- Hence, the straight line passing through origin and slope = 1 2 K .
