Q. Half-life period of second order reaction is
A) Proportional to initial concentration of reactants
B) Independent of initial concentration of reactants
C) Inversely proportional to initial concentration of reactants
D) None of the above
Explanation
(c)
$t_{1/2} \propto \frac{1}{(a)^{n - 1}}$
For second order reaction, $n = 2$
$\therefore t_{1/2} \propto \frac{1}{a}$
