the rate 4decompositio of ammonia on plantinium surface is zero order what is the rate of production of H2
To determine the rate of production of H2 in the given scenario, you need to know the stoichiometry of the reaction between ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen (H2). Assuming the equation for the reaction is:
2 NH3 -> N2 + 3 H2
Since the rate of decomposition of ammonia on the platinum surface is zero order, it means the rate of ammonia decomposition does not depend on the concentration of ammonia. Therefore, the rate equation for this reaction can be written as:
Rate = k[ammonia]^0 = k
Where:
- Rate is the rate of production of H2 (since the rate of decomposition of ammonia equals the rate of production of H2 in this reaction)
- [ammonia] is the concentration of ammonia
- k is the rate constant
As the rate constant is a proportionality constant, you'll need to consult experimental data or be given the value of k to calculate the rate of production of H2.
