Question:

For a reaction : \(N_2 + 3H_2 \rightarrow 2NH_3\), the rate of reaction with respect to \(NH_3\) is

Show Hint

For a reaction, the rate is expressed by dividing the change in concentration of each species by its stoichiometric coefficient. For a product, the sign is positive (it is being formed).

  • \(+\dfrac{1}{3}\dfrac{\Delta[NH_3]}{\Delta t}\)
  • \(-\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\Delta[NH_3]}{\Delta t}\)
  • \(+\dfrac{1}{4}\dfrac{\Delta[NH_3]}{\Delta t}\)
  • \(+\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\Delta[NH_3]}{\Delta t}\)

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
For a reaction, the rate is expressed by dividing the change in concentration of each species by its stoichiometric coefficient. For a product, the sign is positive (it is being formed).

Step 1:
In \(N_2 + 3H_2 \rightarrow 2NH_3\), the coefficient of \(NH_3\) is 2, and \(NH_3\) is a product, so its term is positive.

Step 2:
Rate with respect to \(NH_3\) = \(+\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\Delta[NH_3]}{\Delta t}\).

Answer: Option (D) \(+\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\Delta[NH_3]}{\Delta t}\).
