If the rate of the reaction is equal to the rate constant, the order of the reaction is
Correct answer: C. 0
- A. 3
- B. 1
- C. 0
- D. 2
Explanation
If the rate of reaction is equal to the rate constant, it implies that the reaction is zero-order with respect to the reactants. In a zero-order reaction, the rate of reaction is independent of the concentration of the reactant. The rate equation for a zero order reaction is: Rate = k So, if the rate of the reaction is equal to the rate constant, it indicates a zero-order reaction.

About Reaction Kinetics
Reaction kinetics relates reaction rate to concentration, temperature, surface area and catalysts. Questions cover rate laws, reaction order, rate constants, activation energy and the activated complex, including how a catalyst lowers the activation energy without changing the overall energy change or equilibrium position.
