If concentration time graph of a reactant indicates a constant half life, then the order reaction with respect to that reactant is:
Correct answer: D. First order
- A. Zero order
- B. Half order
- C. Second order
- D. First order
Explanation
In First order reactions, the graph represents the half-life is different from zero order reaction in a way that the slope continually decreases as time progresses until it reaches zero. We can also easily see that the length of half-life will be constant, independent of concentration. For example, it takes the same amount of time for the concentration to decrease from one point to another point. The half-life of zero order reaction decreases as the concentration decreases. The half life of second order reactions increases as the concentration increases.

About Reaction Kinetics
Reaction kinetics relates reaction rate to concentration, temperature, surface area and catalysts. Questions cover rate laws, reaction order, rate constants, activation energy and the activated complex, including how a catalyst lowers the activation energy without changing the overall energy change or equilibrium position.

The rate of a reaction in general can be increased by all the following factors except:
The rate law of a reaction is, rate = k[A]2[B]. On doubling the concentration of both A and B, the rate of reaction increases_time.
"The sum of all the exponents to which the molar concentration in terms in the rate equation are raised" defines:
If the reaction, P + Q → R + S, is described as being of zero-order with respect to P, it means that:
The rate of a gaseous reaction is given by K[A][B]. If the volume of the vessel containing these gases is reduced to 1/4th of the initial volume, the rate of reaction relative to the original rate would be:
