4 NH3(g)  + 5 O2(g)   --->   4 NO(g)  +  6 H2O(l)

I will write a question based upon rates of the above reaction. The first person will answer this question and then write a second question that the next person will answer and then write a question continuing on …..

So to start: What is the expression for the rate of disappearance of NH3?

  1. i believe the disappearance of NH3 would be expressed as -1/4 delta concentration nh3 over delta t...

    what is the rate of disappearance of 02

    1. No coefficients used in rates of disappearance or appearance. Thus you are correct except for the 1/4 term.

  3. I believe the expression for the rate of disappearance of O2 is...
    1/5(-delta [concentration O2]/delta T)

    What is the expression for the rate of appearance of H2O?

  4. rate of appearance of H20
    1/6 (delta [concentration H20]) / (delta t)

    What is the rate of appearance of NO?

  5. The rate of appearance of NO is..
    1/4 (Δ [NO]/Δ t)

    What are the rate relationships between all species in the given reaction?

    2. Pick two species to relate for Brett's question.

  6. Rate(Disappearance) NH3= Rate(Appearance)NO

    What is the reaction order for this equation?

    1. You can not determine the reaction order because there is no experimental data and it is not a single collision reaction.
      Next person, pick another two species and answer Brett's question.
      "What are the rate relationships between another two species in the given reaction? "

    2. Rate(Appearance)NO3 = Rate(Appearance) 3/2 H2O

      What is the limiting reactant in this reaction?

    3. I think you meant NH3 (not NO3). NH3 is slower than H20 thus NH3 is 2/3 of H2O.
      Can not answer "what is the limiting reactant" because we do not know the number of grams (moles) put into the reaction flask.
      The next person should answer this question: "What is the rate of reaction in terms of NO?"
