Which of the following curves represents a second order reaction ? [x = product oncentration `(a-x)` = reactant concentration)A. B. C. D.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
For the simple type of second order reaction
`Ararr`products
the integrater rate law is
`(1)/([R]_(t))=Kt+(1)/([R]_(0))`
Since the integrated rate law has the form `y=mx+b,a` graph of `1//[R]_(t)` or `1//a-x` versus time is a straigh line if the reaction is second order:
`overset((1)/([R]_(t))=Kt+(1)/([R]_(0)))`
`({:(uarr,uarr,uarr,uarr),(y,m,x,b):}`
The slope of the straght line is rate constant `K` , and the intercept is `1//[R]_(0)` . First graph corresponds to a first order reaction, second graph corresponds to a third order reation. while the fourth graph corresponds to a third order reaction.
