Choose from the options given below, the correct one regarding order of reaction is :- A(b) Zero order (c) and (e) First order
- B(a) and (b) Zero order (e) First order
- C(b) and (d) Zero order (e) First order
- D(a) and (b) Zero order (c) and (e) First order

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 :
-
Zero order So a plot of vs is a straight line with negative slope.
-
First order So a plot of vs is a straight line with negative slope. Also, equivalently, a plot of vs is straight.
-
Second order So a plot of vs 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:
