A → P is a first order reaction. The following graph is obtained for this reaction. (x-axis = time; y-axis = conc. of A). The instantaneous rate of the reaction at point C is
Show Hint
For a first-order reaction, the instantaneous rate is proportional to the concentration of the reactant at that instant.

- \( \frac{1}{m} \)
- \( m \)
- \( 2.303 m \)
- \( \frac{1}{2.303 m} \)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In a first-order reaction, the instantaneous rate of reaction is given by the equation: \[ \text{Rate} = k [A] \] The slope of the graph at point C represents the rate constant \( k \), and thus, the instantaneous rate is directly related to the slope. The slope \( m \) of the graph represents the rate.
