A zero order reaction is one whose rate is independent of the:

Correct answer: B. Concentration of the reactants

  • A. Temperature of the reaction
  • B. Concentration of the reactants
  • C. Concentration of the products
  • D. Material of the vessel in which the reaction is carried out

Explanation

By definition, a zero-order reaction has a rate independent of reactant concentration:Rate = k[A]0 = k Even if you increase or decrease [A], the rate remains constant.

About Chemical Equilibrium

Reversible reactions reach dynamic equilibrium when forward and reverse rates become equal, and Le Chatelier's principle predicts the effect of changing concentration, pressure or temperature. The chapter also covers solubility product, the common ion effect, buffer action and the conditions used in Haber's process, with equilibrium shifts distinguished from changes in the equilibrium constant.
