    Which of these change (s) with time for a first order reaction? [A] Rate of reaction   [B] Rate constant [C] Half-life

    A)  [A] only         

    B)  [C] only

    C)  [A] and [B] only 

    D)  [B] and [C] only

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Rate of a first order reaction, \[r=k\,[A]\] \[=\frac{change\text{ }in\text{ }concentratiofA\text{ }of\text{ }reaction}{dt}\] Thus, rate changes with time. [b] Rate constant depends only upon the temperature. [C] Half-life for first order reaction is, \[{{t}_{1/2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}\]ie, it also does not vary with time.
