$(i)$ Zero order reaction.

For zero order reaction

$[\mathrm{R}]=-k(t)+[\mathrm{R}]_{0}$

$\uparrow$

$y=m$ $\begin{array}{lll}\uparrow & \uparrow & \uparrow \\ x & + & c\end{array}$

So, the graph is of straight line.

$(ii)$ Slope $=-k$

$(iii)$ Unit of zero order reaction is $\mathrm{mol} \mathrm{L}^{-1} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$.
