Question

For a zero order reaction, the rate law is expressed as,
Rate $= k [ A ]^{ x }[ B ]^{ y }[ C ]^{2}$. If the value of $x =3 / 2$ and the value of $y=-1 / 2$, then the value of $z$ is ____.

Answer 1

For zero order reaction, $x+y+z=0$
$\therefore \frac{3}{2}+\left[-\frac{1}{2}\right]+z=0$
$\therefore 1+z=0 $
$\therefore z=-1$
