$R \rightarrow P$ is a first order reaction. For this reaction,a graph of $\ln [R]$ (on $y$-axis) and time (on $x$-axis) gives a straight line with a negative slope. The intercept on the $y$-axis is equal to ($k =$ rate constant):

  • A
    $\ln [R]_0$
  • B
    $[R]_0$
  • C
    $k \times 2.303$
  • D
    $\frac{k}{2.303}$
