Q. If the rate of a reaction is equal to the rate constant, the order of the reaction is

AIPMTAIPMT 2003Chemical Kinetics

Solution:

Rate of reaction is equal to the rate constant for zero order reaction. Let us consider the following hypothetical change. $ A \longrightarrow B + C$
Suppose this reaction is zero order, then
rate$ \propto[A]^\circ$
$\therefore $ rate =k [A]^\circ =k$
