For a first order reaction, the half-life period is independent of

A

initial concentration

B

cube root of initial concentration

C

first power of final concentration

D

square root of final concentration

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In case of first order reaction , `t_(1//2)=(0.693)/(lambda)`
`therefore` it is independent of initial concentration of reactions.
