Review Questions
1 . All of the following are true statements concerning reaction orders EXCEPT:
(A) The rate of a zero-order reaction is constant.
After three half-lives, a radioactive sample will have one-ninth of its original
concentration.
(B)
(C) The units for the rate constant for first-order reactions are sā1.
If doubling the concentration of a reactant doubles the rate of the reaction, then
the reaction is first order in that reactant.
(D)
