A chemical reaction is represented as follows:\[ A(aq) \rightarrow B(aq) + C(aq) \]A plot of \(\ln[A]\) versus time gives a straight line with a negative slope. What is the order of the reaction?**Explanation:**In chemical kinetics, if a plot of the natural logarithm of the concentration of a reactant (\(\ln[A]\)) versus time yields a straight line with a negative slope, this indicates that the reaction is first-order with respect to the reactant \(A\). The linear relationship suggests that the rate of reaction depends exponentially on the concentration of \(A\). **Key Concepts:**- **First-Order Reaction:** The rate is directly proportional to the concentration of one reactant. For a first-order reaction, the integrated rate law is \(\ln[A] = -kt + \ln[A_0]\), where \(k\) is the rate constant and \([A_0]\) is the initial concentration. - **Graphical Representation:** The straight line on the plot demonstrates a linear relationship as predicted by the first-order kinetics, with the slope being equal to \(-k\).Understanding these concepts assists in predicting reaction behaviors and calculating reaction rates.
