Solution
(i) Rate of reaction = Rate constant.
(iii) Rate of decomposition of ammonia will remain constant until ammonia disappears completely.
(iv) Further increase in pressure will change the rate of reaction.
Explanation:
The pressure in this reaction is extremely high and it becomes independent of the ammonia concentration. The metal surface becomes saturated with gas molecules when the rate of reaction = Rate constant. The rate of a zero-order reaction is independent of the concentration of reactants in the reaction.
