The decomposition of phosphine (PH3) on tungsten at low pressure is a first-order reaction. It is because the
- Arate is proportional to the surface coverage
- Brate is inversely proportional to the surface coverage
- Crate is independent of the surface coverage
- Drate of decomposition is very slow.

Correct answer: A
At low pressure, rate is proportional to the surface coverage and is of first order while at high pressure it follows zero order kinetic due to complete coverage of surface area.
