Assertion. Half-life of a reaction is in...

Assertion. Half-life of a reaction is independent of the initial concentration of the reactant.
Reason. Half-life of a reaction is independent of the order of reaction.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the true explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason ae true but reason is not the true explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true, but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Correct A. Hlaf-life of a first order reaction only is independent of the initial concentration of the reactant.
Correct R. `t_(1//2)prop (1)/([A_(0)]^(n-1))` i.e. depends upon the order n of the reaction.

The half-life of a reaction is halved as the initial concentration of the reaction is doubled. The order of the reaction is

Assertion (A): For a first order reaction, half-life period is independent of initial concentration of the reacting species.

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

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

Show that in first order reaction: i) Half-life period is independent of the initial molar concentration of the reaction. ii) Units of rate constant donot depend upon the units of concentration.
