The correct Answer is:
To determine when the reaction \(3A \rightarrow B + C\) is a zero-order reaction, we need to analyze the conditions under which the rate of the reaction does not depend on the concentration of the reactant \(A\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Zero-Order Reactions**: - A zero-order reaction is characterized by a rate that is constant and does not change with varying concentrations of the reactants. Mathematically, the rate law for a zero-order reaction can be expressed as: \[ \text{Rate} = k[A]^0 = k \] - Here, \(k\) is the rate constant, and \([A]\) is the concentration of reactant \(A\). Since any number raised to the power of zero is 1, the rate remains constant regardless of the concentration of \(A\). 2. **Analyzing the Given Options**: - We need to evaluate the options provided in the question: - **Option A**: The rate of the reaction is proportional to the square of the concentration of \(A\). (This suggests a second-order reaction) - **Option B**: The rate of the reaction remains the same at any concentration of \(A\). (This suggests a zero-order reaction) - **Option C**: The rate remains unchanged at any concentration of \(B\) and \(C\). (This does not directly indicate the order with respect to \(A\)) - **Option D**: The rate of the reaction doubles if the concentration of \(B\) is increased to double. (This suggests a dependency on \(B\)) 3. **Identifying the Correct Option**: - From our understanding of zero-order reactions, the correct condition that indicates a zero-order reaction is when the rate remains constant regardless of the concentration of \(A\). - Therefore, **Option B** is the correct answer: "The rate of the reaction remains the same at any concentration of \(A\)." ### Final Answer: The reaction \(3A \rightarrow B + C\) would be a zero-order reaction when the rate of the reaction remains the same at any concentration of \(A\) (Option B). ---
