(D) image (iv) Second order

Chemical Kinetics

Solution:

Formula that relate concentration and time is:-
$Kt =\frac{1}{ n -1}\left[\frac{1}{ Ao ^{ n -1}}-\frac{1}{ At ^{ n -1}}\right],$
$t \propto \frac{1}{ Ao }^{ n -1}$
For zero order reaction, this equation will be
$At = Ao - Kt$
$Y =+ c - mx$ so the first is zero order reaction graph,
[slope is negative]
For first order reaction, this equation will be
$\log [ At ]=\log [ Ao ]- Kt$
$Y =+ c - mx$ so the second is first order reaction graph,
[slope is negative]
For $C$ and $D$ there is direct relation between time and concentration
$t \propto \frac{1}{ Ao }$
for $C$ power of $\{ A \}$ is $-1$ that means $1- n =-1$
So order $( n )=1+1=2$
for $D$ power of $\{ A \}$ is $-2$ that means $1- n =-2$
So order $( n )=2+1=3$.
