Half-lives of a first-order and a zero-order reaction are the same. Assume that the initial concentration of the reactant is the same for both reactions,then the ratio of the initial rates of the first-order reaction to that of the zero-order reaction is:

  • A
    $1 / 0.693$
  • B
    $2 \times 0.693$
  • C
    $0.693$
  • D
    $2 / 0.693$
