Question

For a zero order reaction, the plot of concentration of reactant $vs$ time is (intercept refers to concentration axis)

• A. linear with $+ve$ slope and zero intercept
• B. linear with $-ve$ slope and zero intercept
• C. linear with $-ve$ slope and non-zero intercept
• D. linear with $+ve$ slope and non-zero intercept
• E. a curve asymptotic to concentration axis

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

For a zero order reaction, the plot of concentration of reactant $ vs $ time is a straight line (linear) with a negative slope and non-zero intercept.
