Zero-order kinetics

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012804",
  "term": "Zero-order kinetics",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A reaction rate where the rate of a process is independent of the concentration of the reactant. This means the substance is eliminated or metabolized at a constant amount per unit of time, regardless of how much is present. Alcohol metabolism in humans often follows zero-order kinetics at higher concentrations.",
