MCQ
The correct difference between first and second order reactions is that
  • A
    A first order reaction can be catalysed; a second order reaction cannot be catalysed.
  • The half life of a first order reaction does not depend on $[A_0]$; the half life of a second order reaction does depend on $[A_0].$
  • C
    The rate of a first order reaction does not depend on reactant concentrations; the rate of a second order reaction does depend on reactant concentrations.
  • D
    The rate of a first order reaction does depend on reactant concentrations; the rate of a second order reaction does not depend on reactant concentrations.

Answer

Correct option: B.
The half life of a first order reaction does not depend on $[A_0]$; the half life of a second order reaction does depend on $[A_0].$
