For a zero order reaction, the plot of concentration versus time is linear with

Step-by-step solution

For a zero order reaction, A → B , R a t e = - d [ A ] d t = k or - d [ A ] = k . d t When t = 0 , [ A ] = [ A ] 0 and t = t , [ A ] = [ A ] Hence - ∫ [ A ] 0 [ A ] d [ A ] = k ∫ ( t = 0 ) ( t = t ) d t [ A ] 0 - [ A ] = k t Or [ A ] = [ A ] 0 - k t Thus the plot of [ A ] versus t is linear with negative slope and intercept [ A ] 0 .
