Question

Transcribed Image Text:The decomposition of ammonia on a tungsten surface at 1100 °C
NH3 1/2 N2 + 3/2 H2
is zero order in NH3.
In one experiment, when the initial concentration of NH3 was 1.38×102 M, the concentration of NH, dropped to 3.20×103 M after 2.26x10 seconds had passed.
Based on these data, the rate constant for the reaction is
