Which of the following graphical plots are structurally correct for a general zero-order reaction ? — Chemical Kinetics Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

A is correct because $[A]_t = [A]_0 - kt$ (slope is $-k$). B is correct because rate $= k[A]^0 = k$ (constant over time). C is correct because $t_{1/2} = [A]_0 / 2k$ (linear through origin). D is incorrect; rate is independent of concentration, so the plot of Rate vs $[A]$ is horizontal.
