In the decomposition of ammonia, what is the stoichiometric ratio of NH3 to N2?

• 3:1

• 1:2

• 2:1

• 1:1

How is the rate of reaction determined from the rate of a product with a coefficient of one?

• By subtracting the rate from the coefficient

• By using the rate as is

• By dividing the rate by the coefficient

• By multiplying the rate by the coefficient

What must be done to the rate of change for a reactant to express it as a rate of reaction?

• Divide by the coefficient

• Multiply by the coefficient

• Add the coefficient

• Subtract the coefficient

What is the rate of reaction if the rate of N2 production is 0.1 molar per second?

• 0.2 molar per second

• 0.3 molar per second

• 0.05 molar per second

• 0.1 molar per second

What is the rate of consumption of NH3 if its rate of change is -0.2 molar per second?

• -0.2 molar per second

• -0.1 molar per second

• 0.2 molar per second

• 0.1 molar per second

How should the rate of change be expressed for a reactant when asked for its rate of consumption?

• As a negative value

• As a positive value

• As zero

• As a fraction

What is the significance of a valid rate expression in kinetics?

• It determines the equilibrium constant

• It converts individual rates into the overall rate of reaction

• It measures the energy change in a reaction

• It predicts the spontaneity of a reaction

Why is it important to distinguish between rate of change and rate of consumption?

• To predict the spontaneity of a reaction

• To determine the equilibrium state

• To accurately describe the direction of concentration change

• To calculate the energy released
