Question

What is the relation between slope of the line and rate constant of first order reaction?

Answer 1

The following graphs represents concentration of reactants versus time for a first-order reaction. Plotting ln[A] with respect to time for a first-order reaction gives a straight line with the slope of the line equal to −k

Answer 2

The following graphs represents concentration of reactants versus time for a first-order reaction. Plotting ln[A] with respect to time for a first-order reaction gives a straight line with the slope of the line equal to −k.
