Consider the ‘n’ th order irreversible liquid phase reaction A → B. Which one of the following plots involving half life of the reaction (t1/2) and the initial reactant concentration (CA0) gives a straight line plot ?
Correct answer: C
Explanation
For an n-th order reaction, t1/2 is proportional to 1/(C_A0)^(n-1). Plotting C_A0 vs ln(t1/2) will yield a straight line for specific values of n.
