Chapter 14, Problem 122E

A particular reaction, $\text{A}\to \text{products}$ has a rate that slows down as the reaction proceeds. The half-Iife of the reaction is found to depend on the initial concentration of A. Determine whether each statement is likely to be true or false for this reaction.

a. A doubling of the concentration of A doubles the rate of the reaction.
b. A plot of 1/[A] versus time is linear.
c. The half-life of the reaction gets longer as the initial concentration of A increases.
d. A plot of the concentration of A versus time has a constant slope.
