What is the order of a reaction that is 50% complete after 2 h and 75% complete after 4 h?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It is a first order reaction because for 75% completion of reaction two half-lives are required (as, `t_(1//2) =2` h), which suggests that `t_(1//2)` is independent of initial concentration.
