Question

Chemistry Question on Chemical Kinetics

If initial concentration is doubled, the time for half reaction is also doubled, the order of reaction is

A

zero

B

first

C

second

D

third

Answer

zero

Explanation

Solution

t1/21(cone,ofreactant)n1t_{1/2} \propto \frac{1}{(cone, of reactant)^{n-1}}For zero order, n = 0 The half life period \propto (cone, of reactant).In the question, the time for half reaction is doubled when initial concentration is doubled it is zero order reaction.
