The given plots represent the variation of the concentration of a reactant R with time for two different reactions (i) and (ii). The respective orders of the reactions are : 

- A0,1
- B1,0
- C0,2
- D1,1

Correct answer: B
- Use the characteristic concentration–time plots for different orders
For a reactant , the integrated rate laws give these standard shapes:
-
Zero-order reaction: So, a plot of vs is a straight line with negative slope.
-
First-order reaction: So, a plot of vs is a curved exponential decay.
- Interpret the two given plots
From the figure:
-
Reaction (i) shows a curved decrease of concentration with time. Hence, reaction (i) is first order.
-
Reaction (ii) shows a straight-line decrease of concentration with time. Hence, reaction (ii) is zero order.
- Match with the options
Thus, the respective orders for reactions and are:
This corresponds to Option B.
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer = B.
Our derived answer = B.
So, the answer agrees with the stored correct answer.
