For first order reaction the slope of the graph of $\log _{10}[\mathrm{~A}]_{\mathrm{t}} \mathrm{Vs}$. time is equal to
  1. $\mathrm{k}$
  2. $-\mathrm{k} / 2.303$
  3. $-\mathrm{k}$
  4. $\mathrm{k} / 2.303$

Solution

From first order rate equation, $\log [A]=\log \left[A_0\right]-\frac{k t}{2.303}$ On compairing this equation with equation of straight line. $\begin{aligned} & y=m x+c \text { and } m=-\frac{k}{2.303} \\ & \therefore \text { slope }(X)=-\frac{K}{2.303} \end{aligned}$
