Question

Consider the plots given below, for the type of reaction nA→B+C. These plots correspond to the reaction orders respectively:O 0,1,2O 1,2,0O 3,2,1O 1,0,2

Answer 1

0th order: The concentration of reactant A is not plotted on the x-axis, indicating that the reaction rate is not dependent on the concentration of A.
1st order: The concentration of reactant A is plotted on the x-axis, indicating that the reaction rate is dependent on the concentration of A.
2nd order: The concentration of reactant A is plotted on the x-axis, and the plot is a straight line, indicating that the reaction rate is dependent on the square of the concentration of A.
3rd order: The concentration of reactant A is plotted on the x-axis, and the plot is a curve, indicating that the reaction rate is dependent on the cube of the concentration of A.
