Which among the following is an example of zero order reaction?

  1. A Decomposition of \(\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) in presence of catalyst
  2. B Inversion of \(\mathrm{C}_{12} \mathrm{H}_{22} \mathrm{O}_{11}\)
  3. C Hydrolysis of \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOCH}_{3}\)
  4. D Decomposition of \(\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Decomposition of \(\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) in presence of catalyst

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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.
