Chapter 14, Problem 14.69QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given zero order reaction, the plot for rate versus $\left[\text{A}\right]$ has to be sketched.

Concept introduction:

Zero order reaction is the reaction in which the rate of the reaction will be independent of the reactant concentration and hence it will be proportional to its rate constant.

For a zero-order reaction:

$\text{A}\stackrel{}{\to }\text{Products}$

The rate law is given by:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Rate}\text{=}\text{k}{\left[\text{A}\right]}^{\text{o}}\\ \text{=}\text{k}\text{(1)}\because \text{anything}\text{to}\text{the}\text{power}\text{zero}\text{is}\text{one}\text{.}\\ \text{=}\text{k}\end{array}$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given zero order reaction, the plot for $\left[\text{A}\right]$ versus time t has to be sketched.

Concept introduction:

Zero order reaction is the reaction in which the rate of the reaction will be independent of the reactant concentration and hence it will be proportional to its rate constant.

For a zero-order reaction:

$\text{A}\stackrel{}{\to }\text{Products}$

The rate law is given by:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Rate}\text{=}\text{k}{\left[\text{A}\right]}^{\text{o}}\\ \text{=}\text{k}\text{(1)}\because \text{anything}\text{to}\text{the}\text{power}\text{zero}\text{is}\text{one}\text{.}\\ \text{=}\text{k}\end{array}$
