The decomposition of NH3 on platinum surface is zero order reaction. If rate constant (k) is 4 x 10-3 Ms−3, how long will it take to reduce the initial concentration of NH3 from 0.1 M to 0.064 M.

Answer»

Given that the decomposition of NH3 is a zero-order reaction. Integrated form of the zero-order rate law is 

t = [A]0 − [A] / k  ......(1)

Substituting [A]0 = 0.1 M, [A] = 0.064 M and k = 4 x 10−3 Ms−1 in Eq. (1), we get

t = 0.1 − 0.064 / 4x 10-3

= 9s
