The correct difference between first and second-order reactions is that:
- 1A first-order reaction can be catalyzed; a second-order reaction cannot be catalyzed
- 2The rate of a first-order reaction does depend on reactant concentrations; the rate of a second-order reaction does not depend on reactant concentrations
- 3The half-life of a first-order reaction does not depend on [A]0; the half-life of a second-order reaction does depend on [A]0✓
- 4The rate of a first-order reaction does not depend on reactant concentrations; the rate of a second-order reaction does depend on reactant concentrations
Correct answer
The half-life of a first-order reaction does not depend on [A]0; the half-life of a second-order reaction does depend on [A]0
