Question

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

• A. zero
• B. -1
• C. 1
• D. 2

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

1

Since the plot of $\log (a-x)$ vs $t$ is a straight line,

$\therefore \log (a-x)\propto t$

This is followed by $1^{st}$ order reaction where $\log (a-x)=\log a_{\circ }-\frac{Kt}{2.303}$
