The correct difference between first and second order reactions is that

Question

( A ) The rate of a first-order reaction does not depend on reactant concentrations; the rate of a second-order reaction does depend on reactant concentrations
( B ) A first - order reaction can catalyzed, a second-order reaction cannot be catalyzed
( C ) The half - life of a first - order reaction does not depend on $[A]_0$; the half - life of a second-order reaction does depend on $[A]_0$
( D ) The rate of a first-order reaction does depend on reactant concentrations, the rate of a second-order reaction does not depend on reactant concentrations
