<span>This example represents the challenge of survival of the fittest. In this situation, the trees have a distinct advantage due to their above average height. This puts them in the best position to gain the resources that they need to survive, most notably, the sun. The smaller plants, however, do not have this advantage, and lose out to the trees.</span>
A. It does not retain the properties of the substances that make it up
From the given observations,
You can see that as the concentration is doubled, half-life is halved.
That is,half-life is inversely proportional to concentration
As t( half-life) ~ 1/a^(n-1)
For this case n = 2,second order reaction.
R = k X a^n
Using the above formula you will get the rate and rate constant.
