Derive an expression to calculate the time required for the completion of a zero order reaction.
(N/A) For a zero order reaction,the integrated rate equation is $k = \frac{[R]_0 - [R]}{t}$.
For the completion of the reaction,the concentration of the reactant $[R]$ becomes $0$.
Substituting $[R] = 0$ in the equation:
$k = \frac{[R]_0 - 0}{t} = \frac{[R]_0}{t}$.
Therefore,the time required for completion is $t = \frac{[R]_0}{k}$.
For the completion of the reaction,the concentration of the reactant $[R]$ becomes $0$.
Substituting $[R] = 0$ in the equation:
$k = \frac{[R]_0 - 0}{t} = \frac{[R]_0}{t}$.
Therefore,the time required for completion is $t = \frac{[R]_0}{k}$.
