Question

Consider the following statements in respect of zero order reaction.
I. The rate of the reaction is independent of reactant concentration.
II. The rate of the reaction is independent of temperature.
III. The rater constant of the independent of temperature.
IV. The rate constant of the independent of reactant concentration.
Choose the correct statement/s

• A. I only
• B. I and II only
• C. III and IV only
• D. I and III only
• E. I and IV only

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

For zero order reaction
$Rate=k{[A]}^0=k$
$\therefore$ For a zero order reaction rate and rate constant are independent of reactant concentration.
