Verified answer
Answer:
Answers: (a), (c), and (d).
Given, chemical reaction is
1130K
2NH3(g)----------------------------→N2(g) + 3H2(g)
Platinium catalyst
At very high pressure reaction become independent of concentration of ammonia i.e., zero order reaction
Hence,
Rate=k[ρNH3]0
Rate =k
(a) The rate of reaction = Rate constant
(c) Rate of decomposition of ammonia will remain constant until ammonia disappears completely. •
(d) Since, formation of ammonia is a reversible process further increase in pressure will change the rate of reaction. According to Le-Chatelier principle increase in pressure will favour in backward reaction.
Note: For a zero order reaction, the rate of reaction is independent of the concentration of ammonia. Hence, the statement (b) is wrong
