The correct Answer is:
To determine the false statement among the options given, we need to analyze each statement regarding the characteristics of chemical reactions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Option A**: - Statement: "Rate of zero order reaction is independent of initial concentration of the reactant." - Explanation: In a zero-order reaction, the rate of reaction is constant and does not depend on the concentration of the reactants. This statement is **true**. 2. **Analyze Option B**: - Statement: "Half-life of the third order reaction is inversely proportional to the square of the initial concentration of the reactant." - Explanation: For a third-order reaction, the half-life (t½) is given by the formula: \[ t_{1/2} = \frac{1}{k[A_0]^2} \] where \( [A_0] \) is the initial concentration. This means that the half-life is indeed inversely proportional to the square of the initial concentration. Thus, this statement is **true**. 3. **Analyze Option C**: - Statement: "For the first order reaction, t-half is 0.693 divided by k." - Explanation: The half-life for a first-order reaction is given by the formula: \[ t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{k} \] where \( k \) is the rate constant. This statement is also **true**. 4. **Analyze Option D**: - Statement: "Molecularity of reaction may be zero, negative or even fractional." - Explanation: Molecularity refers to the number of reactant particles involved in an elementary reaction. It can only be a positive integer (1, 2, 3, etc.). Therefore, molecularity cannot be zero, negative, or fractional. This statement is **false**. ### Conclusion: The false statement among the options is **Option D**: "Molecularity of reaction may be zero, negative or even fractional." ---
