Formula for half- life of a zero order reaction is
Options
- AC₀ K
- BC₀ 2 K
- C2 C₀ K
- D2 C₀ 2 K
Correct answer
B. C₀ 2 K
Step-by-step solution
For zero order reaction, if concentration of reactant is [ C ₀ ] at time t and [ C ₀ ] 2 at time t ₂ , then aligned & k = [ C ₀ ]- [ C ₀ 2 ] t ₂- t ₁ = [ C ₀ ]- [ C ₀ 2 ] t _ 1 / 2 & t _ 1 / 2 = [ C ₀ ] 2 k aligned Thus, t _ 1 / 2 for zero order reaction is directly proportional to the initial concentration of the reactant.
