Understanding zero order and first order kinetics

For drug A Graph of concentration, vs time is straight line For drug B Graph of concentration. Vs time is curvilinear For drug A Fixed amount of drug undergo decomposition per unit time In zero order process.

Fixed amount of drug is undergoing degradation per unit time.

In first order process, Graph of log concentration, vs time is straight line.

Rate of reaction is independent.

Of the concentration of drug Rate of reaction cannot increased by increasing drug concentration.

Rate of reaction is independent of the concentration of drug In first order process.

Rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of drug.

Increasing the concentration of drug rate of reaction increases First order.

The graph of concentration vs time is curvilinear, but log C vs time is linear.

First order process follows linear, kinetics, .
