Question

If the rate of a reaction is equal to the rate constant, the order of the reaction is (A) 2 (B) 3 (C) 0 (D) 1

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Rate of reaction is equal to the rate constant for zero order reaction. Let us consider the following hypothetical change.

A ⟶ B + C

Suppose this reaction is zero order, then
rate

\propto [A]^{\circ}

∴

rate =k [A]^\circ =k$
