0 order

[Jasmine Fendi 1D]

What would be an applicable example of a 0 order reaction? When would that make sense?

[Ruby Tang 2J]

An example of a zero order reaction is the decomposition of nitrous oxide in the presence of a hot platinum wire (a catalyst): 2N2O --> 2N2 + O2. Generally, a reaction involving a catalyst will be zero order. Using the stated reaction as an example, if we were to increase the concentration of the reactant, N2O, up to a certain point the reaction rate wouldn't change anymore. The reason for this is that there is only so much catalyst available, and once the catalyst is saturated with reactant (ie all of the catalyst is in contact with a reactant molecule), then the reaction can't get any faster. This is why we say that for zero order reactions, rate = k. It's important to also remember that a zero order reaction is only zero order as a result of the reaction begin carried out under a specific set of conditions: the reactant will eventually be exhausted, and therefore the rate cannot be equal to k forever. Before the reactant is completely depleted, the reaction will revert to a different rate law.

zero order means concentration of reactants has no effect on rate so if trial 1 had the same concentration of reactant a but had twice the concentration of reactant b compared to trial 2, trial 1 will still have the same rate as trial 2. essentially rate is unaffected by the change in reactant concentrations

here is a link with an example

[Jacob Motawakel]

zero order means k is a constant, and it is not changed by differences on concentration of reactants. The rate law is just equal to k.

[Jainam Shah 4I]

Also, when a catalyst is present the reaction can be zero order, because the catalyst controls the reaction rather than the concentration or amount of reactant present making the reactants a negligible part of the reaction.

[William Chan 1D]

A 0 order reaction occurs when the concentration of the reactant doesn't matter. This most often happens when there is a catalyst present, and when the catalyst is catalyzing the reaction at "max" rate already, changing the concentration won't affect the overall reaction rate.

When it is zero order, it means that the k value is a constant. The rate law would be equal to k.

Thank you guys for the examples provided!

[Navdha Sharma 3J]

A zero order reaction means that the rate of reaction is independent of concentration of reactants.

[Becca Nelson 3F]

A zero order reaction, while not very common, is independent of the concentration of the reactants. This can happen when the reaction has some type of catalyst in it. hope this helps!

[Nicoli Peiris 1B]

Zero order is when the concentration of a reactant does not affect the rate of the reaction. This occurs under a catalyst or enzyme or if the reactant is not in the rate limiting mechanism.

[Neha Jonnalagadda 2D]

Any reaction involving a catalyst would be a good example of a reaction with an order of 0!

[Neha Mukund]

0 order means that k, the equilibrium concentration, is constant and the rate is independent of the concentration of the reactants.
