For 3rd order reaction the hhalf life is inversely proportional to initial concentration of reactants__________________?
Correct answer: B. Square
- A. Single
- B. Square
- C. Cube
- D. Raise to power four
Explanation
For a single-reactant third-order reaction, the half-life varies inversely with the square of the initial reactant concentration, written as t1/2 proportional to 1/[A]0^2. Therefore, doubling the initial concentration makes the half-life one-fourth as large. Students may choose c by matching the power of the reaction order directly, but the half-life relation has the square of the concentration in the denominator for a third-order reaction.

About Order of Reaction
Reaction order shows how the rate depends on the concentration of each reactant, as expressed in the rate law. Coverage includes zero, first and second-order reactions, integrated rate equations, half-life, units of rate constants and the distinction between overall order and molecularity.
