Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0 \cdot 0133 \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{s}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{N}_{2}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{NH}_{3}\)
Rate of reaction \(=-\frac{\mathrm{d}\left(\mathrm{N}_{2}\right)}{\mathrm{dt}}=-\frac{1}{3} \frac{\mathrm{d}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2}\right)}{\mathrm{dt}}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{d}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)}{\mathrm{dt}}\)
From rate expression,
\(\frac{\mathrm{d}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{2}\right)}{\mathrm{dt}}=\frac{2}{3} \frac{\mathrm{d}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2}\right)}{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{t}}=\frac{2}{3} \times 0.02=0.0133 \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{s}\)
