NEET 2026 (Phase 1) Chemistry question — For a certain reaction \ce{R -> Product}, the plot of concentration $[R]$ versus time is…
  1. A.$0$
  2. B.$1$
  3. C.$2$
  4. D.$2.5$

Correct Answer

(A) $0$

Solution & Explanation

\textbf{Answer:} (A) $0$ \textbf{Solution:} For a zero-order reaction, the integrated rate law is: $[R] = [R]_0 - kt$ This is the equation of a straight line in $[R]$ vs $t$ with a constant negative slope equal to $-k$. Since the given plot is a straight line with constant negative slope, the reaction is zero order.
