Which order of reaction obeys the expression t1/2 = 1/ka?

Which order of reaction obeys the expression t1/2 = 1/ka?

Explanation

Since the reaction order is second, the formula for t1/2=k−1[A]−10.

This means that the half-life of the reaction is 0.0259 seconds


while

For a first-order reaction, t1/2 is independent of the initial concentration of reactants.

***

The rate constant of a zero-order reaction is equal to the rate of reaction.

R: t1/2 for zero order reaction is directly proportional to the initial concentration

***

A third-order reaction is a reaction in which the rate is directly proportional to the concentration of three reacting molecules.
