Question

(a) For the generic reaction A ---> B. If this is a first-order reaction, what quantity when graphed versus time will yield a straight line?

(b) how can you calculate the rate constant for the first-order reaction from the graph you made in part (a)?

Group of answer choices

A.) (a) a graph on log[A] versus time yields a straight line for a first-order reaction.

(b) the slope of the straight line.

 

B.) (a) a graph on 1/[A] versus time yields a straight line for a first-order reaction.

(b) the slope of the straight line.

 

C.) (a) a graph on [A] versus time yields a straight line for a first-order reaction.

(b) the slope of the straight line.

 

D.) (a) a graph on ln[A] versus time yields a straight line for a first-order reaction.

(b) the negative slope of the straight line.
