Reaction Rates and Stoichiometry

In this latest blog post, “Unveiling the Dynamics: Understanding Reaction Rates and Stoichiometry in NH₃ Decomposition,” we delve into the intricacies of a chemical reaction involving ammonia (NH₃). Breaking down the balanced equation

2NH₃(g) → N₂(g) + 3H₂(g),

Reaction Rates and Stoichiometry

We explore how stoichiometry plays a pivotal role in determining the rate of change of reactants and products. With a focus on the rate of change of ammonia (A[NH₃]/Δt), we decipher the significance of stoichiometric coefficients and their impact on reaction kinetics.

Question

Can you explain what the rate A[NH₃]/Δt is, given the reaction 2NH₃(g) → N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) and a known rate A[H₂]/Δt of 0.030 mol/s?

Answer:

To determine the rate of A[NH₃]/Δt (rate of change of concentration of NH₃ over time), you can use the stoichiometry of the reaction. Given the reaction:

2NH3​(g)→N2​(g)+3H2​(g)

The coefficients in the balanced chemical equation give the molar ratios of reactants and products. In this case, the ratio of NH₃ to H₂ is 2:3.

If the rate of change of [H₂] (A[H₂]/Δt) is given as 0.030 mol/s, you can use the stoichiometric coefficients to find the rate of change of [NH₃] (A[NH₃]/Δt).

A[NH₃]/A[H₂]=Coefficient of NH₃/Coefficient of H₂

A[NH₃]/A[H₂]=1/3

Now, multiply the given rate A[H₂]/Δt by this ratio to find A[NH₃]/Δt:

A[NH₃]/A[H₂]×A[H₂]/Δt=1/3×0.030 mol/s

A[NH₃]/Δt=0.010 mol/s

Final Answer:

Therefore, the rate of change of [NH3​] (A[NH₃]/Δt) is 0.010 mol/s0.010mol/s.

  1. What i don’t understood is in reality how you’re now not really a lot more smartly-favored than you might be now. You’re very intelligent. You understand therefore significantly in terms of this topic, produced me personally believe it from a lot of numerous angles. Its like women and men are not interested except it is one thing to accomplish with Woman gaga! Your own stuffs outstanding. Always care for it up!
