For a zero-order reaction,a plot of ________ versus ________ is linear.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For a zero-order reaction, the rate of the reaction is independent of the concentration of the reactant. Therefore, the rate constant can be expressed as k = -d[A]/dt = k'. A plot of [A] versus time for a zero-order reaction would be a straight line with a negative slope, whereas a plot of ln[A] versus time would be curved. Thus, the best choice is B, which is a plot of [A] versus time, as it will give a linear relationship.
