NEET Chemistry Order of Reaction MCQ Question
A diagram shows a plot of ln[R] versus time for a first-order reaction. What is the significance of the slope of this plot?
The slope represents the negative rate constant (-k) of the reaction.
The slope is equal to the concentration of the reactant at time zero.
The slope indicates the half-life of the reaction.
The slope represents the activation energy of the reaction.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
For a first-order reaction, plotting ln[R] against time yields a straight line with a slope equal to -k, the negative rate constant, as per the rearranged first-order rate equation.
