Question

For what order reaction does the half-life get longer as the initial concentration increases?
Options
A first order
B zeroth order
Correct Answer
C none of them because half-life is always independent of the initial concentration.
D second order
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

For zeroth order reactions, t₁/₂ = [A]₀/(2k). Half-life is directly proportional to initial concentration; as [A]₀ increases, half-life increases.

Hint

Zeroth order half-life depends on initial concentration.
