zero order in rate laws

[Gabriela Carrillo 1B]

If a reactant is zero order do we include it in the rate law or write it without it? For example: rate=k[A][B]^2[C]^0 or rate=k[A][B]^2?

[Nora 1F]

If a reactant is zero order, you do not include it in the rate law because it won't affect the rate of the reaction.

[Vincent Kim 2I]

Unless the problem wants you to write it out specifically, probably not

[604807557]

You write it without it since it has no affect

[Jimmy Zhang Dis 1K]

No, the zero order reaction has no effect on the rate law so normally its not included.

[Virpal Gill 1B]

If it is zero order the rate law is not dependent on the concentration of that reactant so it technically doesn't need to be included.

[AtreyiMitra2L]

We can include them but its . not needed.

[Merzia Subhan 1L]

Since it ends up being 1, I wouldn't include it. It makes the equation look cluttered

[Patricia Macalalag 2E]

You can leave it out because it has no effect on the rate.
