For a given reaction, the concentration of the reactant plotted against time gave a straight line wi — Chemical Kinetics Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

For a zero-order reaction, the integrated rate equation is [A]_t = -Kt + [A]_0. This represents a straight line equation y = mx + c when concentration [A]_t is plotted against time t. The slope of the line is -K (negative). Thus, the reaction is of zero-order.
