Q. Which among the following plots are linear? ( a - x) is the concentration of reactant remaining after time, t
1. ( a - x) vs t, for a first order reaction.
2. ( a - x) vs t, for a zero order reaction.
3. ( a - x) vs t, for a second order reaction.
4. $\frac{1}{(a-x)}$ vs t, for a second order reaction.

Solution:

The plots of cone ( a - x) vs t for different order reactions are shown below : Hence, for zero order reaction, plot of ( a - x) vs tis linear and for second order reaction, plot of $\frac{1}{a-x}$ vs tis linear.
