Asked in UHS MDCAT 2013 2013Moderate

In zero order reactions, the rate is independent of:

Correct answer: B. Concentration of the reactant

  • A. Concentration of the product
  • B. Concentration of the reactant
  • C. Temperature of the reaction
  • D. Surface area of the product

Explanation

In zero-order reactions, the rate is independent of the concentration of the reactants. This means that changing the concentration of the reactant does not affect the reaction rate. The rate of reaction is determined by other factors such as the temperature, presence of catalysts, or the surface area of the reactant.

About Order of Reaction

Reaction order shows how the rate depends on the concentration of each reactant, as expressed in the rate law. Coverage includes zero, first and second-order reactions, integrated rate equations, half-life, units of rate constants and the distinction between overall order and molecularity.
