The half life for a given reaction was doubled as the initial concentration of a reactant was doubled. What is the order of reaction.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the order of the reaction based on the relationship between half-life and initial concentration, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between half-life and concentration for different orders of reactions. - **Zero Order Reaction**: The half-life (t₁/₂) is given by the formula: \[ t_{1/2} = \frac{[A]_0}{2k} \] This indicates that half-life is directly proportional to the initial concentration \([A]_0\). ...
