For a first order reaction with rate constant 'k' and initial concentration 'a', the half-life period is given by:

A

ln 2/k

B

1/ka

C

0.693/ka

D

`3//2 ka^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
For `1^(st)` order reaction, half life is independent of initial concentration `t_(1//2)=(n2)/(k)`
