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

Answer: -1

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