The oxidation of ammonia produces nitrogen and water via the reaction below. 4 NH3 + 3 O2-> 2 N2 + 6 H2O If the rate of formation of N2 is 2.0 M/s, then what is the rate at which a) H2O is being formed? b) NH3 reacts? c) O2 reacts?
Added by Amber H.
Step 1
For every 2 moles of N2 formed, 6 moles of H2O are formed. So, the rate of formation of H2O is 3 times the rate of formation of N2. Rate of H2O formation = 3 × (Rate of N2 formation) = 3 × 2.0 M/s = 6.0 M/s b) Show more…

Oxidation of Ammonia 4NH3 (g) + 3O2 (g) = 2N2 (g) + 6H2O (l). It was found that the rate of formation of H2O was 0.81 mol/s. At what rate was N2 being formed? 0.27 mol/s 0.81 mol/s 0.27 mol/s 0.54 mol/s

For the oxidation of ammonia: 4NH3 + 3O2 ⟶ 2N2 + 6H2O It was found that the rate of formation of N2 was 0.27 mol L–1 s–1. At what rate was water being formed? At what rate was ammonia being consumed?
