(i) Predict the order of the reaction.
(ii) What is the slope of the curve ?
(iii) Write the unit of rate constant for this reaction.
(iii) Write the unit of rate constant for this reaction.
उत्तर १
For a chemical reaction R→P, the variation in the concentration (R) vs. time (t) plot is given as follows:
(i) The order of the reaction zero.
(ii) Slope = -k
उत्तर २
(i) The variation in the concentration (R) vs. time (t) plot shown here represents a zero order reaction, for which the rate of the reaction is proportional to zero power of the concentration of the reactants.
(ii) For a zero order reaction, rate constant is given as
`k=([R]_0-[R])/t`
So, the slope of the curve for the variation in the concentration (R) vs. time (t) plot is equal to the negative of the rate constant for the reaction.
उत्तर ३
(iii) Since it is a first order reaction, the unit of the rate constant is s−1.
