For the reaction whose rate law is rate = k[X], a plot of which of the following is a straight line

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given rate law, rate = k[X], indicates a first-order reaction with respect to [X]. For first-order reactions, plotting the natural logarithm of the concentration of the reactant ([X]) versus time yields a straight line, according to the first-order kinetics equation ln[X] = -kt + ln[X0], where [X0] is the initial concentration of the reactant.
