When initial concentration of the reactant is doubled, the half-life period of a zero order reaction -

A

remains unchanged

B

is halved

C

is tripled

D

is doubled

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Half-life of a zero order reaction is ,
`t_(1//2) = ([A]_(0))/(2k)`
Thus , for a zero order reaction , the value of `t_(1//2)` is doubled if initial concentration of the reactant is doubled.
