The correct difference between first order reaction and second‐reaction is that:
A
A first‐order reaction can be catalysed, a second order reaction cannot be catalyzed
B
The rate of a first order reaction does not depend on reactant concentrations, the rate of a second order reaction does depend on reactant concentrations
C
The rare of a first order reaction does depend on reactant concentrations; the rate of a second order reaction does not depend on reactant‐concentrations
D
The half life of a first‐order reaction does not depend on 
the half life of a second order reaction does depend on 
the half life of a second order reaction does depend on
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
For first‐order reaction 
which is independent of initial concentration of reactant. For second order reaction 
which depends on initial concentration of reactant.
