Correct Answer - A::C::D
Given, chemical reaction is
`" "2NH_(3)(g) underset("Platinum catalyst")overset(1130 K)to N_(2)(g) + 3H_(2)(g)`
At very high pressure reactions become independent of ammonia i.e., zero order reaction
Hence, `" ""Rate"= k[p_(NH_(3))]^(0)`
`" ""Rate" = K`
(a) Rate of reaction = Rate constant
(b) Rate of decomposition of ammonia will remain constant until ammonia disappears completly.
(c) Since, formation of ammonia is reversible process furhter increases in pressure will change the rate of reaction. According to Le-Chatelier principle increases will favour in backward reaction.
