Examples of Zero Order Reactions

A reaction is said to be of zero order if its rate is independent of the concentration of the reactants, i.e., the rate is proportional to the zeroth power of the concentration of the reactants.
A → products
to be of zero order,
d[A] = -kdt
Integrating both sides [A] = – k t + C.....(i) where, C is the constant of integration
At t = 0, the concentration of the reactant A = [A]0, where [A]0 is initial concentration of the reactant. Substituting in equation (i) [R]0 = –k × 0 + C [R]0 = C Substituting the value of C in the equation (i) [A] = -kt + [A]0 ….. (ii)
Comparing equation (ii) with equation of a straight line.
y = mx + c
If we plot [A] against t, we get a straight line with slope = –k and intercept equal to [A]0.
Some photochemical reaction and a few heterogeneous reactions are zero-order reactants. Such reactions are not common.
You can refer to the following video for the zero order reactions
H2(g) Cl2(g) 2HCl(g)
This photochemical reaction is zero-order reaction. The reaction is studied by placing H2 and Cl2 gases over water. The rate of reaction is studied by nothing the rate at which water rises in the vessel due to dissociation of HCl formed. the rate of rise of water is the same as the rate of disappearance of H2 and Cl2, i.e., the concentration of the gases phase will not change with time, although the quantities will change.
N2O → N2 + 1/2 O2
Rate [N2O]0 = k[N2O]0 = k
d[N2 O]/dt = k
2NH3 N2 + 3H2
The surface of the catalyst is almost completely covered by NH3 molecules. The adsorption of gas on the surface cannot change by increasing the pressure or concentration of NH3. Thus, the concentration of gas phase remains constant although the product is formed. Therefore, this reaction zero order kinetics.
Other examples of zero order are:
CH3COCH + I2 ICH2COCH3 + HI
The rate equation of this reaction does not include [I2] factor, i.e.,
-dx/dt = k[CH3 COCH3 ][H+]
The concentration of reactant decreases linearly with time.[A]t = [A]0 - kt
The time required for the reaction to be complete, i.e., time at which [A] is zero. tcompletion = [A]0/k = (Initial concentration)/(Rate constant)
The units of k are mol L-1 time-1.
For zero order reaction, we know that
[A] = -kt + [A]0
at half life of reaction,
t = t½ & [A] = [A]o/2
