Question

The half-life of a ______ order reaction is inversely proportional to the initial concentration of the reactant.

Answer 1

The half-life of a second order reaction is inversely proportional to the initial concentration of the reactant.

Explanation:

For a second-order reaction, the half-life t_1/2 is given by:

`t_(1//2) = 1/(k[A]_0)`

So,

`t_(1//2) prop 1/([A]_0)`
