For the reaction A → B, the rate law is: rate = k × [A]. What is the order of the reaction? second-order first-order zero-order k-order

Answer:

First-order

Step-by-step explanation:

Gradpoint; by definition, a first-order reaction is a reaction in which the reaction rate is proportional to the concentration of only one (1) reactant. Since A → B, we see it only progresses up one at a time as the rate of the reaction decreases.

Answer is: first order reaction.
First-order reaction is a reaction (unimolecular reaction) that rate depends linearly on only one reactant concentration (in this case A). First order reaction give graph with a negative and linear slope.
k - rate constant, found through experiment.
