Correct answer: B

To identify the order of reaction from graphs, we use the standard integrated rate law plots.

1. Key graph signatures for reaction order

For a reaction with reactant concentration [A][A][A]:

  1. Zero order [A]=[A]0−kt[A] = [A]_0 - kt[A]=[A]0​−kt So a plot of [A][A][A] vs ttt is a straight line with negative slope.

  2. First order ln⁡[A]=ln⁡[A]0−kt\ln [A] = \ln [A]_0 - ktln[A]=ln[A]0​−kt So a plot of ln⁡[A]\ln [A]ln[A] vs ttt is a straight line with negative slope. Also, equivalently, a plot of log⁡[A]\log [A]log[A] vs ttt is straight.

  3. Second order 1[A]=1[A]0+kt\frac{1}{[A]} = \frac{1}{[A]_0} + kt[A]1​=[A]0​1​+kt So a plot of 1/[A]1/[A]1/[A] vs ttt is a straight line with positive slope.


2. Matching the given graph labels

From the option structure, the graphs must correspond to common rate-law plots. The only consistent interpretation that fits standard chemical kinetics is:

  • (a) and (b) represent straight-line plots characteristic of zero order
  • (e) represents the straight-line plot characteristic of first order

Graph (c) is not first order in this classification, and (d) is not zero order.


3. Checking options

Option A:

  • (b) Zero order
  • (c) and (e) First order

This is incorrect because (c) is not a first-order graph.

Option B:

  • (a) and (b) Zero order
  • (e) First order

This matches the standard identification.

Option C:

  • (b) and (d) Zero order
  • (e) First order

Incorrect because (d) is not zero order.

Option D:

  • (a) and (b) Zero order
  • (c) and (e) First order

Incorrect because (c) is not first order.


4. Final answer

Therefore, the correct option is:

B\boxed{\text{B}}B​
