MCAT Question of the Day


  • Q:

    First order reactions are important in chemical reactions as well as in pharmacology. First order refers to the rate of a reaction. If the reaction is A-->B, then stating that it is first order implies that rate=k*[A], where k is some constant and [A] is the concentration of A. Which of the following does not hold true for such an order reaction?

     

    A

    The slope of log([A]) over time is linear

    B

    Half-life depends on the concentration of A

    C

    If [A] doubles, so will the rate of the reaction

    D

    Changing [B] will have no impact on the rate
