Question:

For a reaction, N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g). The rate of formation of NH3 was found to be 2 x 10-2 mol/dm3/s. What is the rate of consumption of N2

Options:

3 x 10-2 mol/dm3/s

1 x 10-2 mol/dm3/s

1.5 x 10-2 mol/dm3/s

0.5 x 10-2 mol/dm3/s

Correct Answer:

1 x 10-2 mol/dm3/s

Explanation:

N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)

Rate = -\(\frac{1}{1}\)\(\frac{d[N_2]}{dt}\) = -\(\frac{1}{3}\)\(\frac{d[H_2]}{dt}\) = +\(\frac{1}{2}\)\(\frac{d[NH_3]}{dt}\)

\(\frac{d[NH_3]}{dt}\) = 2 x 10-2 mol/dm3/s

-\(\frac{1}{1}\)\(\frac{d[N_2]}{dt}\) = +\(\frac{1}{2}\)\(\frac{d[NH_3]}{dt}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 2 x 10-2 mol/dm3/s

-\(\frac{d[N_2]}{dt}\) = 1 x 10-2 mol/dm3/s
