For a reaction on a surface 
At low pressure of H, the rate is proportional to
At low pressure of H, the rate is proportional to(a)$\mathrm{H}_{2}$
(b)$1 / \mathrm{H}_{2}$
(c)$\mathrm{H}_{2}{ }^{1 / 2}$
(d)$1 /\left[\mathrm{H}_{2}\right]^{1 / 2}$
Answer
Answer: C ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high
Explanation
H₂ adsorbs dissociatively, θ ≈ (Kp)^½ at low pressure, so the rate ∝ p(H₂)^½.
