Formula for half- life of a zero order reaction is

Formula for half- life of a zero order reaction is

Options

  1. AC0K\frac{C_0}{K}
  2. BC02K\frac{C_0}{2 K}
  3. C2C0K\frac{2 C_0}{K}
  4. D2C02K\frac{2 C_0}{2 K}

Correct answer

B. C02K\frac{C_0}{2 K}

Step-by-step solution

For zero order reaction, if concentration of reactant is [C0]\left[\mathrm{C}_0\right] at time t and [C0]2\frac{\left[\mathrm{C}_0\right]}{2} at time t2\mathrm{t}_2, then k=[C0]−[C02]t2−t1=[C0]−[C02]t1/2∴t1/2=[C0]2k\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{k}=\frac{\left[\mathrm{C}_0\right]-\left[\frac{\mathrm{C}_0}{2}\right]}{\mathrm{t}_2-\mathrm{t}_1}=\frac{\left[\mathrm{C}_0\right]-\left[\frac{\mathrm{C}_0}{2}\right]}{\mathrm{t}_{1/2}} \\ \therefore \quad & \mathrm{t}_{1/2}=\frac{\left[\mathrm{C}_0\right]}{2 \mathrm{k}} \end{aligned} Thus, t1/2\mathrm{t}_{1/2} for zero order reaction is directly proportional to the initial concentration of the reactant.
