R\(\rightarrow\)P is a first order reaction. For this reaction a graph of ln[R] (on y-axis) and time (on x-axis) gave a straight line with negative slope. The intercept on y-axis is equal to (k=rate constant)
Show Hint
Memorize the graphical representations of the integrated rate laws:
- \textbf{Zero Order:} A plot of \([R]\) vs. time is linear with slope \(-k\).
- \textbf{First Order:} A plot of \(\ln[R]\) vs. time is linear with slope \(-k\).
- \textbf{Second Order:} A plot of \(1/[R]\) vs. time is linear with slope \(+k\).
