how do you determine C0 (initial concentration) from a graph of a zero order reaction? 
Definition
C0 is the y-intercept in a zero order reaction
Term
in the equation y=mx+b, which factor is C0 (initial concentration)   in a zero order reaction

Term
how do you determine rate constant (K) from a graph of a zero order reaction? 
Definition
  • use two points from the line (as far apart from each other as possible) to determine the slope
  • multiply the slope by -1
This is because in the equation y=mx+b, m=-k

Term
in the equation y=mx+b, what is the value of m in a zero order reaction?

([C]xVmax)/(km+[C])

Definition

it is used to determine the rate of drug absorption by active transport

Km: affinity constant of drug for the carrier

Term
what is the constant for a given drug-carrier complex in active transport? (michaelis menten kinetics)
Definition

both Vmax and Km are constant for a given drug carrier complex. therefore these two constnats are combined as a single constant K'

 

Rate of drug absorption = K' x [C]
