zero and first

[Jeremiah Hutauruk]

what is the difference between zero and first order reaction rates?

[Danielle_Gallandt3I]

A zero order reaction means that any change in the concentration does not affect the rate. A first order reaction means that any change in the reactant concentration will lead to the same change in the rate (concentration doubles means rate will double)

[904914909]

zero order reactions do not depend on the initial concentrations while 1st order reactions are directly proportional to the concentrations

[Vy Lu 2B]

The rate of reaction in a zero order reaction is not dependent on the concentration of the reactant, whereas the rate of reaction in a first order reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of reactant.

Another way to tell the difference between zero and first is that for a zero order reaction, the plot of [Reactant] vs t is a straight line graph while for a first order reaction, the plot of ln[Reactant] vs t is a straight line graph.

[Henry Dudley 1G]

Are zero order reaction rates included in the rate law?
