For a first order reaction $\mathrm{R} \rightarrow \mathrm{P}$, the rate constant is $\mathrm{k}$. If the initial concentration of $\mathrm{R}$ is $\left[\mathbb{R}_{0}\right]$, the concentration of $R$ at any time ' $t$ ' is given by the expression-

  • A
    $\left[R_{0}\right] e^{\text {kt }}$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\left[\mathrm{R}_{0}\right]\left(1-\mathrm{e}^{-k t}\right]$
  • C
    $\left[R_{0}\right] \mathrm{e}^{\text {-kt }}$
  • D
    $\left[\mathrm{R}_{0}\right]\left(1-\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{kt}}\right)$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
