Question

Assertion (A): The units of rate constant of a zero order reaction and rate of reaction are the same.

Reason (R): In zero order reaction, the rate of reaction is independent of the concentration of reactants.

Options

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

• Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).

Explanation:

The rate of a zero-order reaction does not depend on the concentration of the reactants. Therefore, the rate of a zero-order reaction is always equal to the rate constant of that specific reaction.
