Question

What happens to the half life period for a first order reaction, if the intial concentration of the reactants is increased?

Solution

If the initial concentration of the reactants is increased, the half life period for a first order reaction remains unchanged. This is because the half life period for a first order reaction is independent of the initial concentration.
