Question
![In a study of the gas phase decomposition of phosphine at 120 °C
PH3(g) 1/4 P,(g) + 3/2 H2(g)
the concentration of PH, was followed as a function of time.
It was found that a graph of In[PH3] versus time in seconds gave a straight line with a slope of
-2.41x10-2 s1 and a y-intercept of -2.82
Based on this plot, the reaction is
order in PH3 and the half life for the reaction is
seconds.
