The correct Answer is:
To determine when the reaction \( 2A \rightarrow B + C \) is a zero-order reaction, we need to analyze the rate of the reaction in relation to the concentration of the reactants. ### Step 1: Understand the Rate Expression For any reaction, the rate can be expressed as: \[ \text{Rate} = k [A]^n \] where \( k \) is the rate constant, \( [A] \) is the concentration of the reactant, and \( n \) is the order of the reaction. ### Step 2: Define Zero-Order Reaction In a zero-order reaction, the order \( n \) is equal to 0. Therefore, the rate expression simplifies to: \[ \text{Rate} = k [A]^0 = k \] This means that the rate of the reaction is constant and does not depend on the concentration of the reactant \( A \). ### Step 3: Analyze the Options Now, let's evaluate the given statements: 1. **Option 1**: The rate of reaction is proportional to the square of the concentration of \( A \). - This is incorrect because, for a zero-order reaction, the rate does not depend on the concentration of \( A \). 2. **Option 2**: The rate of reaction remains the same at any concentration of \( A \). - This is correct. Since the rate is constant (equal to \( k \)), it does not change with varying concentrations of \( A \). 3. **Option 3**: The rate remains unchanged at any concentration of \( B \) and \( C \). - This is incorrect. The rate of a zero-order reaction is independent of the concentrations of products \( B \) and \( C \) as well. 4. **Option 4**: The rate of reaction doubles if the concentration of \( B \) is increased to double. - This is also incorrect. The rate remains constant regardless of the concentration of products. ### Conclusion The only statement that correctly describes a zero-order reaction is: - **Option 2**: The rate of reaction remains the same at any concentration of \( A \). ### Final Answer The reaction \( 2A \rightarrow B + C \) is a zero-order reaction when the rate of reaction remains the same at any concentration of \( A \). ---
