Determine the order of the reaction involving decomposition of ammonia on the surface of platinum at a high pressure. Given: the value of rate constant for the reaction is, `k=2.5xx10^(-4)"mol.L"^(-1).s^(-1)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Unit of rate constant of `n^(th)` order reaction: `("mol.L"^(-1))^((1-n)).s^(-1) " where"nge0`
Here unit of k is `mol.L^(-1).s^(-1)`
Therefore , the order of the reaction is zero.
