Options:
  • A $\frac{\mathrm{a}}{2 \mathrm{k}}$
  • B $\frac{\mathrm{k}}{\mathrm{a}}$
  • C $\frac{a}{k}$
  • D $\frac{2 \mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{k}}$

The correct answer is: $\frac{\mathrm{a}}{2 \mathrm{k}}$
$\begin{array}{lc}\mathrm{A} \longrightarrow \mathrm{B} & \\ \because \quad \mathrm{r}=\mathrm{k}[\mathrm{A}]^{0} \\ \text { or } \quad \mathrm{r}=\mathrm{k} \\ \text { This is a zero order reaction. } \\ \therefore \quad \mathrm{t}_{1 / 2}=\frac{\mathrm{a}}{2 \mathrm{k}}\end{array}$
