ha! jawab, jawab....(1)

1.In the following decomposition reaction,
 2 N2O5 → 4 NO2 + O2
oxygen gas is produced at the average rate of 9.1 × 10-4 mol · L-1 · s-1. Over the same period, what is the average rate of the following:
  • the production of nitrogen dioxide
  • the loss of nitrogen pentoxide
 Solution:
  • From the equation we see that for every 1 mole of oxygen formed, four moles of nitrogen dioxide are produced. Thus, the rate of production of nitrogen dioxide is four times that of oxygen:
rate NO2 production= 4 × (9.1 × 10-4 mol · L-1· s-1)
 = 3.6 × 10-3 mol · L-1· s-1
  • Nitrogen pentoxide is consumed at twice the rate that oxygen is produced:
rate loss of N2O5= 2× (9.1 × 10-4 mol · L-1· s-1)
 = 1.8 × 10-3 mol · L-1· s-1
 
2.Consider the following reaction:
N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3(g)
If the rate of loss of hydrogen gas is 0.03 mol · L-1· s-1, what is the rate of production of ammonia?
 Solution:
From the balanced equation we see that there are 2 moles NH3 produced for every 3 moles H2 used. Thus:
rate NH3 production
=
2

× (0.03 mol · L-1· s-1)
 = 0.02 mol · L-1· s-1
