The decomposition of ammonia on platinum surface is a zero order reaction. How much time it will take for \(1 \times 10^{-4}\ mol\ L^{-1}\) of ammonia to reduce into half of its concentration ?
(\(K = 0.5 \times 10^{-4}\ mol\ L^{-1}\ s^{-1}\))

  1. A 1 s
  2. B 10 s
  3. C 100 s
  4. D 5 s
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1 s

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(t_{1/2} = \frac{[A]_0}{2K}\) \(t_{1/2} = \frac{1 \times 10^{-4}}{2 \times (0.5 \times 10^{-4})}\) \(t_{1/2} = 1\ s\)
