NEET Chemistry Order of Reaction MCQ Question
Consider a plot of ln[R] vs. time for a first order reaction, with the plot resulting in a straight line. What does the slope of this line represent?

The negative of the rate constant.
The initial concentration of reactant.
The activation energy of the reaction.
The equilibrium constant of the reaction.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In the NCERT context, the slope of the ln[R] vs. time plot for a first order reaction is equal to -k, where k is the rate constant.
