Solution
The correct option is B Both statements are true but Statement -II is not correct explanation of Statement - I For a zero-order reaction, t1/2=[A]02k. Hence, if in a zero order reaction, the concentration of the reactant is doubled, the half-life period is also doubled. The rate of a zero-order reaction is independent of the concentration of the reaction. The reaction proceeds at constant rate throughout. Thus, both statements are true. but Statement -II is not correct explanation of Statement - I.
