NEET Chemistry Rate of Reaction Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The rate of a zero order reaction is independent of the concentration of the reactants.
Reason (R): In a zero order reaction, the rate constant k is equal to the rate of reaction.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In a zero order reaction, the rate is constant and does not depend on the concentration of reactants, hence the rate constant k is indeed equal to the rate of reaction as explained in the NCERT context on zero order reactions.
