In the Wilhelmey equation of a first order reaction `c_(t) = c_(0)e^(-kt)`. If the initial concentration `c_(0)` is increased `m` times, then

A

The value of `k` will increase `m` times

B

The value of `k` will decrease `m` times

C

The value of `k` will remain unchanged

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
First order reaction is independent of `c_(0)`. Hence, `k` is constant.
