Question
Which of the following analytical relationships between the overall order of reaction ($n$) and the proportionality of its half-life ($t_{1/2}$) relative to the initial concentration ($a$) is/are mathematically rigorous?
Answer: A,B,C,D
💡 Solution & Explanation
The master formula governing half-lives is $t_{1/2} \propto a^{1-n}$. Substituting $n=0$ gives $a^1$ (A is correct). $n=1$ gives $a^0$ (B is correct). $n=2$ gives $a^{-1}$ (C is correct). $n=3$ gives $a^{-2}$ (D is correct).
