Which among the following is an example of zero order reaction?
Which among the following is an example of zero order reaction?
Decomposition of $\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ in presence of catalyst
Inversion of $\mathrm{C}_{12} \mathrm{H}_{22} \mathrm{O}_{11}$
Hydrolysis of $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOCH}_{3}$
Decomposition of $\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{5}$
Solution
Because only the $\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ molecules on the catalyst surface react, the reaction rate is independent of the total concentration of $\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}$.
Therefore, the reaction follows zero order kinetics.
