For a zero order reaction, [R] = - kt + [R]0 Comparing with equation of a straight line y = mx + c. The slope of plot of reactant concentration against time is - k. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/5d4b79b5b95d9c560b8981b889654f25-.png" />

Q. For a zero-order reaction with rate constant $k$ , the slope of the plot of reactant concentration against time is

k/2.303

k

- k/2.303

- k

For a zero order reaction,
$[R] = - k t + [R]_{0}$
Comparing with equation of a straight line $y = m x + c$ .
The slope of plot of reactant concentration against time is - $k$ .
