Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ratio of the half-life ${\text{t}}_{\text{1/2}}$ and the time for the concentration ${\text{t}}_{\text{3/4}}$ of A as a function of n has to be shown.

Concept introduction:

The rate law for the reaction of nth order is given below,

    $\text{kt}\text{=}\left(\frac{\text{1}}{\text{n-1}}\right)\left[\frac{\text{1}}{{\left[\text{A}\right]}^{\text{n-1}}}\text{-}\frac{\text{1}}{{\left[\text{A}\right]}_{\text{0}}^{\text{n-1}}}\right]$
