Answer:

a. The rate of the reaction is not proportional to the concentration of the reactant.

Explanation:

The rate expression for a zero order reaction is given as;

A → Product

Rate = k[A]⁰

[A]⁰ = 1

Rate = K

GGoing through the options;

a) This is correct because in the final form of the rate expression, the rate is independent of the concentration.

b) This option is wrong

c) This option is also wrong

d) Like options b and c this is also wrong becaus ethere is no relationship between either the concentration or t.
