Question
A graph plotted between concentration of reactant, consumed at any time ( $\mathrm{x}$ ) and time ' $\mathrm{t}$ ' is found to be a straight line passing through the origin. The reaction is of:(a) First-order(b) Zero-order(c) Third-order(d) Second-order
Step 1
Step 1: The rate of a reaction is given by the equation: \[Rate = k[A]^n\] where: - $Rate$ is the rate of the reaction, - $k$ is the rate constant, - $[A]$ is the concentration of the reactant, and - $n$ is the order of the reaction. Show more…

If the plot of the reactant concentration versus time is linear, then the order of the reaction is (a) zero order; (b) first order; (c) second order; (d) third order.
If the plot of the reactant concentration versus time is nonlinear, but the concentration drops by $50 \%$ every 10 seconds, then the order of the reaction is (a) zero order; (b) first order; (c) second order; (d) third order.
The accompanying graph shows the concentration of a reactant as a function of time for two different reactions. One of the re- actions is first order, and the other is second order. Which of the two reactions is first order? Second order? How would you change each plot to make it linear?
