Rate constant for a first order reaction does not depend upon reaction
time, extent of reaction and the initial concentration of reactants; but it is afunction of reaction temperature. In a chemical reaction, the time required
to reduce the concentration of reactant from 100 gm moles/litre to 50 gm
moles/litre is same as that required to reduce it from 2 gm moles/litre to 1
gm mole/litre in the same volume. Then the order of this reaction is:
(A) 0
(B) 1
(C) 2
(D) 3
