🧠 The Zero-Order Clock
Most reactions slow down as you run out of fuel (reactants). But in a zero-order reaction, the speed is constant. This creates a very specific relationship between how much you start with and how long it takes for half of it to disappear.

🗺️ The Kinetic Proof
1. The Rate Law: For a zero-order reaction, .
2. Integrated Form: .
3. Half-life Definition: At , .
4. Substitution: .
5. The Result: .
6. Observation: Since  is in the numerator, if you double the initial concentr
