As [reactant] DECREASES, half life of ____ order reaction _______.



These are from TBR:

Zero Order: decreases

First Order: Constant

Second order: increases



Thus, can someone check my conclusions made based off of this:

As [reactant] INCREASES, half life of ____ order reaction _______.

Zero Order: Increases

First Order: Increases Rapidly

Second order: Increases Super Rapidly



This is based on the fact that zero-order reactions have constant rate, first order reactions have decreasing rate, second order reactions have rapidly decreasing rate.
