The rate of decomposition of ammonia is ...

The rate of decomposition of ammonia is found to depend upon the concentration of `NH_(3)` according to the equation `-(d[NH_(3)])/(dt)=(k_(1)[NH_(3)])/(1+k_(2)[NH_(3)])`
What will be the order of reaction when
(i) concentration of `NH_(3)` is very high ? (ii) concentration of `NH_(3)` is very low ?

To determine the order of the reaction for the decomposition of ammonia under two different concentration conditions, we will analyze the given rate equation: \[ -\frac{d[NH_3]}{dt} = \frac{k_1 [NH_3]}{1 + k_2 [NH_3]} \] ### Step 1: Analyze the case when the concentration of \( NH_3 \) is very high. ...
