When the initial concentration of the reactant in a reaction id doubled, the half -life of the reaction becomes double . Determine the order of the reaction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The half-life of a zero order reaction is proportional to the initial concentration of the reactant . Hence , if the initial concentration of the reactant is doubled ,the half-life also doubles . Therefore ,the given reaction is zero order.
