Chem 101 Homework 8:Kinetics Question 8

Question

What is the rate for the zero order reaction A → Products when [A] = 0.200 M? (k = 4.05 M/min)

Answer= _______M/min

Answer 1

For a zero-order reaction with one reactant, A, the rate law would be Rate = k[A]⁰

Anything raised to the power of zero = 1, so this pretty much means that [A] has no effect on the rate of the reaction. We could rewrite the rate law as simply rate = k.

So, whatever the value of k is, that's also the rate.
