Solution

To find the rate constant for the zero-order reaction, we can use the formula:

k = 0.693 / t1/2

where k is the rate constant and t1/2 is the half-life of the reaction.

Given that the initial concentration of the reactant is 0.02 M and the half-life is 100 s, we can substitute these values into the formula:

k = 0.693 / 100

k = 0.00693 mol L^(-1) s^(-1)

Therefore, the rate constant for the reaction is 0.00693 mol L^(-1) s^(-1).
