For a first-order reaction, which plot is linear?
A.ln[A] vs. time
B.[A] vs. time
C.1/[A] vs. time
D.[A]² vs. time
Explanation
Core Concept
The integrated first-order law ln[A] = ln[A]₀ − kt has the form y = mx + b, so ln[A] against time is a straight line with slope −k.
Correct Answer
Aln[A] vs. time
