Question

The conversion of vinyl allyl ether to pent-4-enol follows a certain kinetics. The following plot is obtained for such a reaction.The order for the reaction is:

• A. zero
• B. -1
• C. 1
• D. 2

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1

For first order reaction,

$\log A_o-x=\log A_o-kt$

If we plot between $\log A_o-x$ vs $t$, slope is negative which is $-k$. Thus, the curve is of the first order.
