For a chemical reaction,the temperature is increased from $25\,^{\circ}C$ to $55\,^{\circ}C$. The rate of reaction will change by a factor of (Assume $\mu = 3$).

Under identical reaction conditions,for a reactant with an initial concentration of $1.386 \, M$,the time taken for the concentration to become half is $40 \, s$ for a first-order reaction and $20 \, s$ for a zero-order reaction. The ratio of the rate constant of the first-order reaction $(K_1)$ to the rate constant of the zero-order reaction $(K_0)$ is ......... $mol \, L^{-1}$.

$A$ substance $S$ undergoes two reactions under similar reaction conditions:
$\mathop S\limits_{(2.0 \ M)} \xrightarrow{K_0} X$ (zero order)

The time taken for the concentration of $S$ to become half is $40 \ s$ and $10 \ s$ for the zero-order and second-order reactions,respectively. What is the value of the ratio $K_0 / K_2$?
