What is the relationship between the half-life period $(t_{1/2})$ and the initial concentration $([R]_0)$ for a reaction of order $n$?

  • A
    $t_{1/2} \propto [R]_0$
  • B
    $t_{1/2} \propto [R]_0^{1-n}$
  • C
    $t_{1/2} \propto [R]_0^{n-1}$
  • D
    $t_{1/2} \propto [R]_0^{n-2}$

$Zn + 2H^{+} \to Zn^{2+} + H_2$
The half-life period is independent of the concentration of zinc at constant $pH$. For the constant concentration of $Zn$,the rate becomes $100$ times when $pH$ is decreased from $3$ to $2$. Identify the correct statements $(pH = -\log [H^{+}])$:
$(A)$ $\frac{dx}{dt} = k[Zn]^0[H^{+}]^2$
$(B)$ $\frac{dx}{dt} = k[Zn][H^{+}]^2$
$(C)$ Rate is not affected if the concentration of zinc is made four times and that of $H^{+}$ ion is halved.
$(D)$ Rate becomes four times if the concentration of $H^{+}$ ion is doubled at constant $Zn$ concentration.
