The decomposition of phosphine (PH3) on tungsten at low pressure is a first-order reaction. It is because the
rate is proportional to the surface coverage
rate is inversely proportional to the surface coverage
rate is independent of the surface coverage
rate of decomposition is very slow
As we Discussed in Concept
The decomposition of PH3 on tungsten at low pressure is a first order reaction if because rate is Proportional to the surface coverage
Option 1)
rate is proportional to the surface coverage
Option is Correct
Option 2)
rate is inversely proportional to the surface coverage
Option is incorrect
Option 3)
rate is independent of the surface coverage
Option is incorrect
Option 4)
rate of decomposition is very slow
Option is incorrect
