In a study of the decomposition of ammonia on a platinum surface at 856 °C

NH31/2 N2 + 3/2 H2

the following data were obtained:

[NH3], M 1.36×10-2 6.80×10-3 3.40×10-3 1.70×10-3
seconds 0 1000 1.50×103 1.76×103


Hint: It is not necessary to graph these data.
(1)
The observed half life for this reaction when the starting concentration is 1.36×10-2 M is s and when the starting concentration is 6.80×10-3 M is s.
(2)
The average rate of disappearance of NH3 from t = 0 s to t = 1000 s is  M s-1.
(3)
The average rate of disappearance of NH3 from t = 1000 s to t = 1.50×103 s is  M s-1.
(4)
Based on these data, the rate constant for this 

 order reaction is M s-1.
