At a certain elevated temperature, ammonia decomposes on the surface of tungsten metal as follows:

The kinetic data are expressed as the variation of the half-life with the initial pressure of NH3:

P(mmHg)

t1/2(s)

264

456

130

228

59

102

16

60

(a) Determine the order of the reaction, (b) How does the order depend on the initial pressure? (c) How does the mechanism of the reaction vary with pressure? (Hint: You need to use the equation in Problem 14.129 and plot log t1/2 versus log P.)
