This document discusses the kinetics of zero-order and first-order chemical reactions. For zero-order reactions, the rate is constant and the integrated rate law gives the concentration as a linear function of time. The half-life of a zero-order reaction is independent of concentration. For first-order reactions, the rate is proportional to concentration and the integrated rate law gives the natural log of the concentration as a linear function of time. The half-life of a first-order reaction is the same regardless of initial concentration.
