Identify correct statement regarding order of reaction from following.

Step-by-step solution

For a zero order reaction, the rate is given by r = k[A]^0 = k . Thus, the rate is independent of the concentration of the reactant. The decomposition of acetaldehyde ( CH₃CHO CH₄ + CO ) is a fractional order reaction with an order of 1.5 . For a first order reaction, the half-life is given by t_ 1/2 = 0.693 k . This shows that the half-life is independent of the initial concentration of the reactant. For a zero order reaction, the half-life is given by t_ 1/2 = [A]₀ 2k . This shows that the half-life is directly p
