Assertion : Concentration of reactant in zero order reaction is constant. Reason : For zero order reaction A to B , successive half life of reaction decreases with the progress of the reaction.

Assertion :For a first order reaction, the concentration of the reactant decreases exponentially with time. Reason: Rate of reaction at any time depends upon the concentration of the reactant at that time.

For a first order reaction half life period t(1/2) is independent of initial concentration of its reacting species. By deriving the equation for t(1/2) of first order reaction, prove that t_(1/2) is independent of initial concentration of its reacting species.
