Which of the following is the slope of the first order reaction in the plot of ln[R] vs. time ?
Show Hint
First order: slope of ln[R] vs. t is always negative.

- +k
- $\frac{+k}{2.303}$
- –k
- $\frac{–k}{2.303}$
Show Solution
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The integrated rate law for a first-order reaction is expressed as:
ln[R] = –kt + ln[R]$_0$
Consequently, the slope obtained from plotting ln[R] against time is –k.
ln[R] = –kt + ln[R]$_0$
Consequently, the slope obtained from plotting ln[R] against time is –k.
