NEET Chemistry Rate of Reaction MCQ Question
Consider a reaction diagram where the concentration of a reactant is plotted against time. If the graph shows that the concentration decreases linearly over time, which order of reaction does this represent?

Zero order reaction
First order reaction
Second order reaction
Third order reaction
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
For a zero order reaction, the concentration of the reactant decreases linearly with time. This is because the rate of reaction is constant and independent of the concentration of the reactant.
