(A) $1.$ The rate of a zero order reaction is independent of the concentration of the reactant,meaning it depends on the $0^{th}$ power of the concentration.
$2.$ The molecularity of the slow step (rate-determining step) is equal to the order of the overall reaction.
$3.$ The rate law expression is given by $\text{Rate} = k[A]^x [B]^y$,where $k$ is the rate constant.

For a reaction $A \rightarrow \text{Product}$,the rate constant is $6.93 \times 10^{-3} \ hour^{-1}$. What is the order of the reaction?

Assertion : In rate law,unlike in the expression for equilibrium constants,the exponents for concentrations do not necessarily match the stoichiometric coefficients.
Reason : It is the mechanism and not the balanced chemical equation for the overall change that governs the reaction rate.

The reaction $A_2 + B_2 \rightarrow 2AB$ follows the mechanism $A_2 \underset{k_{-1}}{\stackrel{k_1}{\rightleftharpoons}} 2A$ (fast),$A + B_2 \xrightarrow{k_2} AB + B$ (slow),$A + B \rightarrow AB$ (fast). The overall order of the reaction is:

$A_2 + 2 \, B \to 2 \, AB$
$[A_2]$ $[B]$ $-d[A_2]/dt$
$0.1$ $0.2$ $1 \times 10^{-2} \, M \, s^{-1}$
$0.2$ $0.2$ $2 \times 10^{-2} \, M \, s^{-1}$
$0.2$ $0.4$ $8 \times 10^{-2} \, M \, s^{-1}$

The order of reaction with respect to $A_2$ and $B$ are respectively:

$[A]_0 / \text{mol } L^{-1}$ $t_{1/2} / \text{min}$
$0.100$ $200$
$0.025$ $100$

For a given reaction $R \rightarrow P$,$t_{1/2}$ is related to $[A]_0$ as given in the table:
Given: $\log 2 = 0.30$
Which of the following is true?
$A.$ The order of the reaction is $1/2$.
$B.$ If $[A]_0$ is $1 \text{ M}$,then $t_{1/2}$ is $200 \sqrt{10} \text{ min}$.
$C.$ The order of the reaction changes to $1$ if the concentration of reactant changes from $0.100 \text{ M}$ to $0.500 \text{ M}$.
$D.$ $t_{1/2}$ is $800 \text{ min}$ for $[A]_0 = 1.6 \text{ M}$.
