when initial concentration of a reactant is dubled in a reaction its half -life period is not affected , the order if the reaction isA. zeroB. firstC. secondD. more than zero but less than first

Answer» Correct Answer - B
for a zero order reaction `t_(1//2)` is directly proportional to the intial concentration of the reactant `|R|_(0)`
`t_(1//2)prop|R|_(0) `
for a first order reaction
`k=(2303)/(t) log ""(|R|_(0))/(|R|)`
` at t_(1//2)|R|=(|R|_(0))/(2)`
so the above equation becomes
`K=(2303)/(t_(1//2))log""(|R|_(0))/([R]_(0)//2)`
`t_(1//2)=(2303)/(K)= log ""2= (2303)/(K)xx.3010`
`t_(1//2) = (.693)/(K)`
i.e., half life period is independent of initial concentration of a reactant .
