Explanation Half life of the reaction is defined as that time at which the concentration of reactant is equal to the half of its initial value. [ A ] = 1 2 [ A ] 0 Where, [ A ] is the concentration of reactant at half life. [ A ] 0 is the initial concentration of the reactant. Reaction (1) has a constant half life. This indicated that it is independent of the initial concentration of the reactant. It is only possible when the rate law of the reaction is first order because the half life of the first order reaction is independent of the concentration of reactant and is given as, t 1 / 2 = 0
