4. Consider three hypothetical reactions of the type A → products. One of the reactions is zeroth order, one is first order, and one is second order. If they all have the same numerical value of the rate constant k (in units of M s S ¹, and M¹s¹, -1 -1 2 respectively), what must be the initial concentration [A]o if the half-lives are equal for a) the zeroth- and first-order reactions, b) the zeroth- and second-order reactions, and c) the first- and second-order reactions.
