Decomposition of \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) on the surface of platinum has a rate constant of \(2.5 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{dm^{-3 } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 } \text { at } 3 5 0 \mathrm { K } \text { . The order of }}\) the reaction is

  1. A 0
  2. B 1
  3. C \(1 / 2\)
  4. D 2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Unit of rate constant of \(n\)th order \[ (k)=\left(\frac{\mathrm{mol}}{\mathrm{dm}^{3}}\right)^{1-n} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \] for zero order \((n)=0\) \[ \therefore \quad k=\operatorname{mol~dm}{ }^{-3} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \] \(\therefore\) The order of reaction is 1st.
