Question

One difference between first- and second-order reactions is that the half-life of a first-order reaction does not depend on the initial concentration a) whereas the half-life of a second-order reaction does depend on it. the rate of a first-order reaction does not depend on reactant concentrations whereas b) th e rate of a second-order reaction does depend on reactant concentrations. the half-life of a first-order reaction depends on the initial concentration whereas the half-life of a second-order reaction does not depend on it. c) the rate of a first-order reaction depends on reactant concentrations whereas the rate )of a second-order reaction does not depend on reactant concentrations

Explanation / Answer

Solution- The correct answer is the half-life of a first-order reaction does not depend on initial concentration; the half-life of a second-order reaction does depend on initial concentration.

(t1/2) 1st order = Independent of Concentration

(t1/2) 2nd order = 1/ [A]0
