Explain zero order reaction with example.

Open in App

Solution

Zero-order reaction:
The rate of the reaction is independent of the reactant concentration. With the progress of time, the rate of the reaction remains constant.
rate $= k =$ constant.
The decomposition of ammonia on hot $P t$ surface is zero order reaction.
$2 N H_{3} (g) 1130 K - --- \to P t N_{2} (g) + 3 H_{2} (g)$
The decomposition of nitrous oxide to nitrogen and oxygen in presence of $P t$ catalyst is zero order reaction.
$2 N_{2} O (g) P t - \to 2 N_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g)$
