Question: 64

4. The concentrations of all reactants in a zero-order reaction are increased twofold. What is the new rate of the reaction?

  • A. It is unchanged.
  • B. It is decreased by a factor of 2.
  • C. It is increased by a factor of 2.
  • D. It cannot be determined from the information given.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

By definition, zero-order reactions are unaffected by the concentrations of any reactants in the reaction. Thus, changing the concentrations of these reactants will not affect the rate.
