An example

Postby Andrew Hong » Fri Mar 15, 2024 9:51 pm

Hello, could someone give me an example of a zero order reaction? Along with how the graph would look.

A zero-order reaction is one where the rate is independent of the concentration of reactants. A graph of this would be a line with a slope of negative k of the concentration of [A] vs time. The y-intercept would be [A]0. Hope this helps!

A zero order reaction example can be
H2 +Cl --> 2HCl
because the rate of the reaction is proportional to zero power of the concentration of reactants

An example of a zero order reaction is H2 + CL2 --> 2HCL, and the graph of time versus concentration would be a straight line with a negative slope. In zero order reactants, the rate is not going to change based off of concentration of reactants, so the graph is always going to have a constant slope, and so will be a straight line. Also, zero order reactions usually require the presence of something that is not a molecule, for example, like light. hope this helped!
