Question
Chapter 11, Problem 11.22PAE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The rate measured in an initial rate experiment must be classified as either average or instantaneous rate
Concept Introduction:
Chemical reactions proceed at a certain rate which is represented in terms of the change in concentration over a certain period of time.- The rate can be expressed either in terms of a decrease in concentration of the reactants or an increase in the concentration of products.
- Average
rate of a reaction can be defined as the difference in the concentrations measured at two different times whereas, instantaneous rate can be defined as the rate of a reaction at a particular instant in time.

HINT: What is the reaction they're trying to do? Does that mechanism tell you anything about why something would be favored?
NH3 decomposes through an equilibrium reaction between NH3, H2, and N2. Only one of the options is correct:(A). The mechanism of the NH3 decomposition reaction must necessarily involve the collision of two NH3 molecules to induce a rearrangement of the atoms in this molecule.(B). The molecular weight of the NH3 decomposition reaction is 2 since two NH3 molecules must collide.(C). The rate of the NH3 decomposition reaction must be greater than that of NH3 synthesis, since the former requires two molecules to collide and the latter, four.(D). The NH3 decomposition reaction cannot occur in a single step.
Given the equilibrium A2 + B2 ⇌ 2 AB where k1 is the rate coefficient of the forward reaction and k-1 is the rate coefficient of the reverse reaction, with the forward reaction being first-order in A2 and B2, and the reverse reaction being second-order in AB. Equilibrium will be reached later if the relative values of the constants are:(A) k1 high and k-1 high(B) k1 high and k-1 low(C) k1 low and k-1 high(D) k1 low and k-1 low
