If half-life period of a reaction is inversely proportional to initial concentration of the reactant, what is the order of reaction ?

A

Zero

B

first

C

Second

D

None of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Two. This is because for reaction of nth order,
`t_(1//2)prop(1)/([A_(0)]^(n-1))" Hence, "t_(1//2)prop(1)/([A]_(0))" when "n = 2.`

If half life of a reaction is inersely proportional to initial concentration of the reactant, what is the order of reaction?

The half life period of a reaction is inversely proportional to the square of the initial concentration of the reactant, then the order of reactions is

For a given reaction, the half-life period was found to be directly proportional to the initial concentration of the reactant. The order of reaction is

The half life period of a reaction is halved as the initial concentration of the reactants is doubled. The order of reaction is:

Half-life of a reaction is found to be inversely proportional to the cube of its initial concentration. The order of reaction is
