The half-life of a chemical reaction does not change by either increasing or decreasing the initial concentration of reactant. What is the order of the reaction?

A

Zero

B

First

C

Second

D

Fractional

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
For first order reaction, the half-life time is given as : `t_(1//2)=(0.693)/(K)`
`therefore` The half-life is independent of the concentration of reactant.
