The integrated rate equation [A] = [A₀] − kt describes a reaction of:

Answer: zero order.

  • A zero order
  • B first order
  • C second order
  • D third order

Correct answer: A. zero order

Explanation: A linear fall of concentration with time is characteristic of a zero-order reaction.

First-Order Decay: Constant Half-Lifetime[A][A]₀[A]₀/22 × t½[A]₀/4Each successive half-life takes the SAME amount of time, regardless of starting concentration

First-order decay curve: concentration halves every t½, and that half-life is constant - a defining test for first-order kinetics.

Concept context

Study the speed of reactions and what affects it: concentration, temperature, and catalysts. Covers rate law, order of reaction, the Arrhenius equation, and reaction mechanisms step by step.
