Consider the following two first order reactions occurring at 298 K with same initial concentration of a:
(1) `A to B`, rate constant, `k=0.693 min^(-1)`
(2) `A to C`, half-life, `t_(1//2) = 0.693` min
Choose the correct option:

A

Reaction (1) is faster than Reaction (2).

B

Reaction (1) is slower than Reaction (2).

C

Both reactions proceed at the same rate.

D

Since two different products are formed, rates can not be compared.
