Solution

By using the integrated rate equations, we obtain the above expressions for the half-lives.

Half-life of a zero order reaction is directly proportional to the initial concentration.

Half-life of a first order reaction independent of concentration.

Half-life of a second order reaction is inversely proportional to the initial concentration.

Q. Two reactants A and B separately shows two chemical reactions. Both reactions are made with same initial concentration of each reactant. Reactant A follows first order kinetics, whereas reactant B follows second order kinetics. If both have same half-lives, compare their rates after the lapse of one half-life:
