What is value of pseudo first order reaction. is it negative.
I am doing Photodegradation of dye. For calculation of rate constant which value should be taken Ao (zero Absorbance) -pure dye or after adsorption. Graph is plotting with help of origin.?

As far as I know, rate constants are always positive numbers, but they could represent the decrease in some value. For example, if the absorbance in a reaction decreases with time, you would put a negative sign in front of the positive rate constant to represent the decrease.
