Question

What will be the rate equation for the reaction

$2X + Y \rightarrow Z,$ if the order of the reaction is zero?

• A. Rate=k[X][Y]
• B. Rate = k
• C. Rate = $k\lbrack X\rbrack º\lbrack Y\rbrack$
• D. Rate = $k\lbrack X\rbrack\lbrack Y\rbrack º$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Rate = k

Answer 2

$Rate = k\lbrack X\rbrack^{0}\lbrack Y\rbrack^{0}$ or rate = k
