Including Zero Order

Postby feizahteope2J » Sun Mar 17, 2024 6:19 pm

Do we include zero order reactions in the overall reaction? Why or why not?

No we do not because it is to the power of 0 when calculating the reaction rate. In other words, the reactant that has 0 order has no impact on the rate of the reaction.

Hi! No you wouldn't since the rate law for zero order reactions is rate = k.

Hi! Zero order does not appear in the final equation as it is raised to the power of 0 and has no impact on the reaction, just how it has no affect on the overall order as well.
