Chapter 12, Problem 12.38SP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In the production of ammonia, the relation between the rate of consumption of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}$ and the rate of consumption of ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}$ has to be given.

Concept introduction:

Rate of reaction:

The rate of a reaction is defined by the change in concentration of substrate (reactant) or target (product) with change in time.

$\text{Rate}\text{=}\frac{\text{Concentration}\text{change}\left(\text{in}\text{reactant}\text{or}\text{product}\right)}{\text{Time}\text{change}}$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In the production of ammonia, the relation between the rate of formation of ${\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}$ and the rate of consumption of ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}$ has to be given.

Concept introduction:

Rate of reaction:

The rate of a reaction is defined by the change in concentration of substrate (reactant) or target (product) with change in time.

$\text{Rate}\text{=}\frac{\text{Concentration}\text{change}\left(\text{in}\text{reactant}\text{or}\text{product}\right)}{\text{Time}\text{change}}$
