    In a catalytic experiment involving the Haber process,  \[{{N}_{2}}(g)+3{{H}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}2N{{H}_{3}}(g),\] the rate of reaction was measured as Rate \[=[N{{H}_{3}}]=2.0\times {{10}^{-4}}M{{s}^{-1}}\] If there were no side reactions what was the rate of reaction expressed in terms of \[{{N}_{2}}?\]

    A) \[1\times {{10}^{-4}}M{{s}^{-1}}\]

    B) \[4\times {{10}^{-4}}M{{s}^{-1}}\]

    C)  \[5\times {{10}^{-3}}M{{s}^{-1}}\]

    D) \[1\times {{10}^{-3}}M{{s}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Given, rate \[=2.0\times {{10}^{-4}}M{{s}^{-1}}\] For the reaction, \[{{N}_{2}}(g)+3{{H}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}2N{{H}_{3}}(g)\] \[-\frac{d[{{N}_{2}}]}{dt}=-\frac{d[{{H}_{2}}]}{3dt}=+\frac{d[N{{H}_{3}}]}{2\,dt}\] \[\frac{-d[{{N}_{2}}]}{dt}=\frac{d[N{{H}_{3}}]}{2\,dt}\] \[=\frac{2.0\times {{10}^{-4}}}{2}=1.0\times {{10}^{-4}}M{{s}^{-1}}\]
