Correct answer

A. 00

Step-by-step solution

From the given graph, the plot of concentration [R][R] versus time tt is a straight line with a negative slope.

The equation for this straight line can be written as:
y=mx+cy = mx + c
[R]=(slope)×t+intercept[R] = (\text{slope}) \times t + \text{intercept}

Given that the intercept is [R0][R_0] and the slope is −k-k, the equation becomes:
[R]=−kt+[R0][R] = -kt + [R_0]

This equation represents the integrated rate law for a zero-order reaction. For a zero-order reaction, the rate of reaction is independent of the concentration of the reactant:
Rate=−d[R]dt=k[R]0=k\text{Rate} = -\dfrac{d[R]}{dt} = k[R]^0 = k

Integrating both sides:
∫[R0][R]d[R]=−k∫0tdt\int_{[R_0]}^{[R]} d[R] = -k \int_0^t dt
[R]−[R0]=−kt[R] - [R_0] = -kt
[R]=−kt+[R0][R] = -kt + [R_0]

Since the graph matches this equation, the order of the reaction is 00.
