Consider the reaction

N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) → 2 NH3 (g) 

The equality relationship between  fraction numerator straight d left square bracket NH subscript 3 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction space and space fraction numerator negative straight d left square bracket straight H subscript 2 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction is:

  • fraction numerator straight d left square bracket NH subscript 3 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction space equals space minus space 1 third fraction numerator straight d left square bracket straight H subscript 2 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction
  • fraction numerator straight d left square bracket NH subscript 3 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction space equals space minus space 2 over 3 fraction numerator straight d left square bracket straight H subscript 2 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction
  • plus fraction numerator straight d left square bracket NH subscript 3 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction space equals space minus 3 over 2 fraction numerator straight d left square bracket straight H subscript 2 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction
  • fraction numerator straight d left square bracket NH subscript 3 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction space equals space minus space fraction numerator straight d left square bracket straight H subscript 2 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction

Solution

B.

fraction numerator straight d left square bracket NH subscript 3 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction space equals space minus space 2 over 3 fraction numerator straight d left square bracket straight H subscript 2 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction

For the reaction,
N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) → 2 NH3 (g)
The space rate space of space reaction space straight w. straight r. straight t space straight N subscript 2 space space equals negative fraction numerator straight d left square bracket straight N subscript 2 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction
The space rate space of space reaction space straight w. straight r. straight t space straight H subscript 2 equals space fraction numerator negative 1 over denominator 3 end fraction fraction numerator straight d left square bracket NH subscript 3 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction
The space rate space of space reaction space straight w. straight r. straight t space NH subscript 3 space equals space plus 1 half fraction numerator straight d left square bracket NH subscript 3 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction
Hence comma space at space straight a space fixed space time
fraction numerator straight d left square bracket straight N subscript 2 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction space equals space minus space 1 third fraction numerator straight d left square bracket straight H subscript 2 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction
space equals space plus 1 half fraction numerator straight d left square bracket NH subscript 3 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction
plus fraction numerator straight d left square bracket NH subscript 3 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction space equals space minus space 2 over 3 fraction numerator straight d left square bracket straight H subscript 2 right square bracket over denominator dt end fraction
minus fraction numerator 2 straight d left square bracket straight N subscript 2 right square bracket over denominator 2 end fraction
