zero order in rate laws
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?
Re: zero order in rate laws
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.

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

Re: zero order in rate laws
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.

Re: zero order in rate laws
Since it ends up being 1, I wouldn't include it. It makes the equation look cluttered
