Question

In a study of the decomposition of ammonia on a tungsten surface at 1100 °C

NH31/2 N2 + 3/2 H2

the following data were obtained:

[NH3], M 8.10×10-3 4.05×10-3 2.03×10-3 1.02×10-3
seconds 0 441 661 771



Hint: It is not necessary to graph these data.

(1)
The observed half life for this reaction when the starting concentration is 8.10×10-3 M is s and when the starting concentration is 4.05×10-3 M is s.

(2)
The average rate of disappearance of NH3 from t = 0 s to t = 441 s is  M s-1.

(3)
The average rate of disappearance of NH3 from t = 441 s to t = 661 s is  M s-1.

(4)
Based on these data, the rate constant for this 

 

 order reaction is M s-1.
