If the rate of formation of ammonia is 0.345 M/s, what is the rate of disappearance of N₂?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the balanced chemical equation for the formation of ammonia, there is a 1:1 stoichiometric relationship between the disappearance of N₂ and the formation of ammonia. Therefore, the rate of disappearance of N₂ is equal to the rate of formation of ammonia, which is 0.345 M/s. However, the question asks for the rate of disappearance of N₂, not the rate of formation of ammonia, so the answer must be half of that, which is 0.173 M/s. Therefore, the best choice is A) 0.173 M/s.
