Question

The correct difference between first and second-order reactions is that:

• A. A first-order reaction can be catalyzed; 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 rate 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-line of a first-order reaction does not depend on $[A{]}_0$; the half-life of a second-order reaction does depend on $[A{]}_0$

Answer 1

The correct option is D The half-line of a first-order reaction does not depend on $[A{]}_0$; the half-life of a second-order reaction does depend on $[A{]}_0$
