Lesson Plan

Lesson: Zero Order Reaction

Aim :

To study zero order reactions and their rate equation.

Learning Outcomes :

At the end of the lesson, students will be able to :

1. explain the terms rate equation, rate constant and order of reaction.

2. deduce that a reaction is a zero order reaction from its concentration-time


graph.

3. state the integrated form of the rate equation for a zero order reaction.

Assumed prior knowledge :

Students should already :

1. be familiar with the concept that the concentration of reactants decreases with
time during the course of a chemical reaction.

2. know how to derive the instantaneous rate of reaction from the concentration-time
graph.

Underlying Principles

Enabling students to know what to look for.

Time taken to complete the activities : 80 minutes

Differentiation

Questions in the student notes are designed to enable all students to complete the activity.
The pop-up answers are provided for the students to view when they have considered their
responses. Worksheet questions include questions that require recall, understanding and
application of the new concepts learned.

• Activity 1 : Order of reaction

Students are shown how the rate


equation is derived from the expression
‘rate ∝ concentration’. They are taught
the definition of the following terms: rate
equation, rate constant, order of reaction.

• Activity 2 : Zero order reaction


Students are shown how the
concentration of a reactant in a zero
order reaction affects the rate of the
reaction. They are also shown how the
integrated form of the rate equation is
obtained.

Worksheet answers

1. Order of Reaction

1.1 a. N2O4(g) 2NO2(g)

b. rate = k[N2O4]n
where k = rate constant and n = order of reaction.

c. The rate equation relates the rate of a reaction to the concentration of the
reactants. The value n in the rate equation shows exactly how the rate is
affected by the concentration of the reactants.

2. Zero Order Reaction

2.1 a. Zero order.


The rate of the reaction is the same no matter what the initial concentration of
X is. Therefore, the rate is independent of the concentration of the reactant so
the reaction is zero order with respect to X.

b. rate = k[X]0

c. 1.5 x 10-6 mol dm-3 s-1 = k (1)


k = 1.5 x 10-6 mol dm-3 s-1

2.2 a. To slow the reaction down so that the change in the concentration of iodine in
the sample is small or insignificant.

2.3 a. An excess of Y was added to keep the concentration of Y almost constant


throughout the experiment.

b. Zero order with respect to X. The gradients of the two lines obtained are
constant throughout the experiment. This shows that the rates of the reaction
are independent of the concentration of X.

c. The gradient of the graph obtained at [Y] = 2.0 mol dm-3 is two times greater
than at [Y] = 1.0 mol dm-3. Thus, the rate of the reaction is doubled when the
concentration of Y is doubled.
