AIPMT PRELIMS 2006 Chemistry Rate Equations MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

Consider the reaction N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g). The equality relationship between (d[NH₃]/dt) and -(d[H₂]/dt) is:

A

(d[NH₃]/dt) = -(1/3)(d[H₂]/dt)

B

+(d[NH₃]/dt) = -(2/3)(d[H₂]/dt)

C

+(d[NH₃]/dt) = -(3/2)(d[H₂]/dt)

D

(d[NH₃]/dt) = -(d[H₂]/dt)

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The stoichiometry of the reaction shows that 3 moles of H₂ produce 2 moles of NH₃. Therefore, the rate of formation of NH₃ is (2/3) times the rate of consumption of H₂.
