The Rate of a Reaction E.4. For the oxidation of ammonia, \( 4 \mathrm{NH}_{3}+3 \mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow \) \( 2 \mathrm{~N}_{2}+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \), it was found that the rate of formation of \( \mathrm{N}_{2} \) was \( 0.27 \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{s} \). Find: a.) the rate at which water is being formed and b.) the rate at which ammonia is being consumed.

) The rate of formation of water can be found by comparing the stoichiometric coefficients of N2 and H2O in the balanced chemical equation. For every 2 moles of N2 formed, 6 moles of H2O are formed. Show more…

The following equation shows the production of $\mathrm{NO}$ and $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ by oxidation of ammonia. At a given time, $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ is reacting at a rate of $1.20 \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{min}$. At that same time, what is the rate at which the other reactant is changing and the rate at which each product is changing? $$ 4 \mathrm{NH}_{3}+5 \mathrm{O}_{2} \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{NO}+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} $$
Consider the reaction $$\mathrm{N}_{2}(g)+3 \mathrm{H}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{NH}_{3}(g)$$ Suppose that at a particular moment during the reaction molecular hydrogen is reacting at the rate of $0.082 \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{s}$. (a) $\mathrm{At}$ what rate is ammonia being formed? (b) At what rate is molecular nitrogen reacting?
