For the reaction system $2NO_{(g)} + O_{2(g)} \to 2NO_{2(g)}$,the volume is suddenly reduced to half its initial value by increasing the pressure. If the reaction is of first order with respect to $O_2$ and second order with respect to $NO$,the rate of reaction will:

  • A
    Diminish to one fourth of its initial value
  • B
    Diminish to one eighth of its initial value
  • C
    Increase to eight times of its initial value
  • D
    Increase to four times of its initial value

The velocity constant of a reaction is $K$. Which of the following statements is not true regarding $K$?

Give the relation between half-life $(t_{1/2})$ and initial concentration of reactant $([R]_0)$ for an $(n-1)^{th}$ order reaction.

$t_{1/2} =$ constant confirms a first-order reaction. If $a^2 t_{1/2} =$ constant,it confirms that the order of the reaction is ($a =$ initial concentration of reactant).
