A zero order reaction has a rate that is independent of reactant concentration over a wide range -- genuinely rare, and usually arising when the rate-limiting step is something OTHER than a direct bimolecular collision (e.g. photon absorption, or a saturated catalyst surface).
Step 2. Example 1: the photochemical combination of hydrogen and chlorine, -- the rate is limited by how many photons are absorbed per second, not by the concentration of or present.
Step 3. Example 2: decomposition of nitrous oxide on a hot platinum surface, -- once the platinum surface is fully saturated with adsorbed , adding more gas-phase cannot speed the reaction up further, since only surface-bound molecules can react. …
