Chapter 14, Problem 14.9P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The time which is required for the concentration of NH₃ to drop from $\text{5}{\text{.00×10}}^{\text{-3}}\text{to 1}{\text{.00×10}}^{\text{-3}}\text{M?}$

Concept introduction:

During some reactions, the rate doesn’t depend upon the concentration of the reactant. The rates of these zero-order reactions do not change with the decrease orincrease in reactants concentrationsimplies that the reaction rate is identical to the rate constantof that reaction.
