Zero Order reaction rate constant

[Riya Sood 4G]

If the reaction is 2A--> Products and is zero order, is the rate constant still K or 2K ?

[DarrenKim_1H]

I believe it is still K

[Mulin_Li_2J]

Yes, I believe if you represent rate of the reaction using rate law, it should still be k no matter what stochiometric coefficient is in front of the reactant.

[Suraj Doshi 2G]

The rate constant should still be K as none of the stoichiometric coefficients and concentrations will affect the rate of reaction.

And what is the units for the rate constant of the zero order rxn?

[Riya Sood 4G]

And what is the units for the rate constant of the zero order rxn?

The units for rate constant for a zero order reaction is mol L^-1 s^-1

[Ritu Gaikwad 2E]

The rate constant, regardless of the order of the reaction will not be dependent on the coefficients of the reaction.

[preyasikumar_2L]

The coefficients do not affect the rate constant, it will still be K.

if it is zero order then it is constant because anything to the 0 power is just 1
