Question

Consider the reaction: n2(g) 3h2(g) → 2nh3(g) suppose that a particular moment during the reaction, molecular hydrogen is reacting at a rate of 0.0687 m/s. at what rate is molecular nitrogen reacting

Answer 1

0.229 M/s is molecular nitrogen reacting

Step-by-step explanation:

`N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow NH_3(g)`

Rate of the reaction :

`R=-(1)/(1)(d[N_2])/(dt)=-(1)/(3)(d[H_2])/(dt)=(1)/(2)(d[NH_3])/(dt)`

Rate at which hydrogen gas is reaction :

`(d[H_2])/(dt)=0.0687 M/s`

Rate at which hydrogen gas is reaction :

`(d[N_2])/(dt)=?`

`-(1)/(1)(d[N_2])/(dt)=-(1)/(3)(d[H_2])/(dt)`

`(d[N_2])/(dt)=(1)/(3)* 0.0687 M/s`

`=0.229 M/s`

0.229 M/s is molecular nitrogen reacting
