Question

In an overall ____-order reaction, the reaction rate is independent of the concentration of any reactant.

Answer

In an overall zero-order reaction, the reaction rate is independent of the concentration of any reactant.
In an overall zero-order reaction, the reaction rate is independent of the concentration of any reactant.
Note: Occurs in enzyme-catalyzed reactions when the concentration of the substrate far outweighs the concentration of the enzyme. All of the enzyme catalytic sites get saturated with substrate and the addition of more substrate has no effect on reaction rate.
