A reaction whose rate is independent of the concentration of the reactant is of:

Answer: zero order.

  • A first order
  • B zero order
  • C second order
  • D third order

Correct answer: B. zero order

Explanation: A zero-order reaction proceeds at a constant rate regardless of reactant concentration.

First-Order Decay: Constant Half-Lifetime[A][A]₀[A]₀/22 × t½[A]₀/4Each successive half-life takes the SAME amount of time, regardless of starting concentration

First-order decay curve: concentration halves every t½, and that half-life is constant - a defining test for first-order kinetics.

Concept context

Study the speed of reactions and what affects it: concentration, temperature, and catalysts. Covers rate law, order of reaction, the Arrhenius equation, and reaction mechanisms step by step.
