The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the decomposition of ammonia (NH₃) on a platinum surface, which is given as a zero-order reaction. The reaction can be represented as follows: \[ 2 \text{NH}_3 \rightarrow \text{N}_2 + 3 \text{H}_2 \] ### Step 1: Identify the Rate of Reaction For a zero-order reaction, the rate of reaction is constant and is equal to the rate constant \( k \). Given that \( k = 2 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{mol L}^{-1} \text{s}^{-1} \), we can express the rate of appearance of products in terms of \( k \). ### Step 2: Relate the Rates of Appearance of Products From the balanced equation, we can relate the rates of appearance of nitrogen (\( \text{N}_2 \)) and hydrogen (\( \text{H}_2 \)): \[ -\frac{1}{2} \frac{d[\text{NH}_3]}{dt} = \frac{d[\text{N}_2]}{dt} = \frac{1}{3} \frac{d[\text{H}_2]}{dt} \] ### Step 3: Express the Rate of Formation of \( \text{N}_2 \) From the equation, we can express the rate of formation of \( \text{N}_2 \): \[ \frac{d[\text{N}_2]}{dt} = k = 2 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{mol L}^{-1} \text{s}^{-1} \] ### Step 4: Express the Rate of Formation of \( \text{H}_2 \) Using the stoichiometric relationship, we can find the rate of formation of \( \text{H}_2 \): \[ \frac{d[\text{H}_2]}{dt} = 3 \times \frac{d[\text{N}_2]}{dt} = 3 \times (2 \times 10^{-4}) = 6 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{mol L}^{-1} \text{s}^{-1} \] ### Step 5: Compile the Results Now we have the rates of appearance for both products: - Rate of appearance of \( \text{N}_2 \): \( 2 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{mol L}^{-1} \text{s}^{-1} \) - Rate of appearance of \( \text{H}_2 \): \( 6 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{mol L}^{-1} \text{s}^{-1} \) ### Conclusion The correct option that matches these rates is: **Option (3): \( (2 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{mol L}^{-1} \text{s}^{-1}, 6 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{mol L}^{-1} \text{s}^{-1}) \)** ---
