Question

3 One difference between first- and second-order reactions is that (5 Pts) A) the half-life of a first-order reaction does not depend on [AJo the half-life of a second-order reaction does depend on [A] B) the rate of both first-order and second-order reactions do not depend on reactant concentrations C) the rate of a first-order reaction depends on reactant concentrations; the rate of a second-order reaction does not depend on reactant concentrations D) a first-order reaction can be catalyzed; a second-order reaction cannot be catalyzed E) None of the above are true.

Explanation / Answer

Option A- the half life of a first order reaction doesnot depend on A or initali concentration but half life of 2nd order reaction depends on initial concentration A.
