ABSTRACT
Zero order. For a zero-order reaction, x ¼ 0, and the generic kinetics model reduces to
dCA dt ¼ k
This means that the rate of depletion of reactant A is a
constant, k. One can separate the variables and integrate
this equation with the boundary conditions
CA ¼ CA0 (initial concentration) at time t ¼ 0 (initial time), and
CA ¼ CA at any time t ¼ t.
