A reaction A -> products is monitored over time, and [A] is plotted against t. The plot is shown to be a straight line with negative slope.
What is the order of the reaction with respect to A?
- Acheck_circle
Zero order
- B
Second order
- C
Third order
- D
First order
Explanation
A linear plot of [A] vs t indicates zero-order kinetics: [A] = [A]0 - kt.
