The rate of a reaction is the rate of disappearance of a reactant or appearance of a product.
Rate=−d[R]/dt=(d[P])/dt
Where, [R]= molar concentration of the reactant.
[P]= molar concentration of the product.
This equation is known as the rate law.
Thus, the mathematical expression for the rate of a reaction is known as the rate law.
(A)→(ii)
For a zero-order reaction, the rate is dependent only on the rate constant i.e. it is independent of the concentration of the reactant.
Rate=k[R]0
Where, k= rate constant
[R]= molar concentration of the reactant.
Rate=k
Thus, the rate of the reaction for a zero-order reaction is equal to the rate constant (k).
(B)→(i)
For a zero-order reaction,
Units of rate of the reaction =molL−1s−1
Units of rate constant =molL−1s−1
Thus, the units of rate constant for a
zero-order reaction is the same as that of the rate of the reaction.
(C)→(iv)
Complex reactions occur in multiple steps and the slowest step is known as the
rate-determining step. Thus, the order of a complex reaction is determined by the order of the slowest step.
