- Consider the following reaction: N 2 +3H 2 →2NH 3. At a certain point in the reaction, hydrogen gas is being
consumed at a rate of 0.096 M/sec. What is the rate at which ammonia is being formed at this point? - The decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide is described by the reaction: 2N 2 O 5 (g)→4NO 2 (g) +O 2 (g). If
O 2 is being formed at a rate of 2.40 mol/min, what is the rate at which N 2 O 5 is being used up?
