Question

What does zero order reaction mean?

Open in App
Solution

In some reactions, the rate is apparently independent of the reactant concentration. The rates of these zero-order reactions do not vary with increasing nor decreasing reactants concentrations. This means that the rate of the reaction is equal to the rate constant, kk, of that reaction. This property differs from both first-order reactions and second-order reactions.
