The slope of the graph [ A ]_t against time for zero order reaction is
Options
- A-k
- Bk
- Ck/2.303
- D-k/2.303
Correct answer
A. -k
Step-by-step solution
For a zero order reaction, the integrated rate law is given by: [ A ]_t = -kt + [ A ]₀ Comparing this equation with the equation of a straight line y = mx + c , we get y = [ A ]_t and x = t . The slope of the graph m is -k and the y-intercept c is [ A ]₀ . Therefore, the slope of the graph of [ A ]_t against time is -k . Answer: -k
