    If "a" and\[''{{t}_{1/2}}''\] are initial concentration of reactant and half-life of a zero order reaction  respectively, which of the following is correct?

    A)  \[{{t}_{1/2}}\propto \frac{1}{a}\]

    B) \[{{t}_{1/2}}\propto a\]

    C)  \[{{t}_{1/2}}\propto \frac{1}{{{a}^{2}}}\]

    D)  \[{{t}_{1/2}}\propto {{a}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     For zero order reaction integrated rate equation is: \[kt=[{{A}_{0}}]-[A]\] If \[[{{A}_{0}}]=a,[A]=\frac{a}{2},t={{t}_{1/2}}\] \[k{{t}_{1/2}}=a-\frac{a}{2}\] \[k{{t}_{1/2}}=\frac{a}{2}\] \[{{t}_{1/2}}=\frac{a}{2k}\] \[\therefore \] \[{{t}_{1/2}}\propto a\]
