The half life for a given reaction was doubled as the initial concentration of a reactant was doubled. What is the order of reaction.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the order of the reaction based on the information given, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between half-life and concentration The half-life (\(T_{1/2}\)) of a reaction is related to the concentration of the reactant and the order of the reaction. For different orders of reactions, the half-life behaves differently with respect to the concentration of the reactants. ### Step 2: Set up the equations for half-life For a reaction of order \(n\), the half-life can be expressed as: - For a **zero-order reaction**: ...
