At a certain temperature, the half-life ...

At a certain temperature, the half-life period for the decomposition for the substance A is as follows:

what is order of reaction ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
First order

Since the half-life periods are almost the same irrespetive of the initial concentration, i.e., pressure, the reaction is of first order.
