Question:

The rate of disappearance of hydrogen \((\text{H}_2)\) from the reaction \[ \text{N}_2(g) + 3\text{H}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\text{NH}_3(g) \] is \(6\, \text{g L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}\). The rate of production of ammonia \((\text{NH}_3)\) in \(\text{g L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}\) is:

Show Hint

For reactions, use stoichiometric coefficients to relate rates of reactants and products.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Use stoichiometric ratio.
\(\text{N}_2 + 3 \text{H}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{NH}_3\) implies \[ \text{Rate of NH}_3 = \frac{2}{3} \times \text{Rate of H}_2 \]

Step 2: Apply given rate.

\[ \text{Rate of NH}_3 = \frac{2}{3} \times 51 \approx 34\, \text{g L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1} \]

Step 3: Final conclusion.

\[ \boxed{34\, \text{g L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}} \]
