The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$N_{2}+3H_{2} \rightarrow 2NH_{3}$
$\frac{-\left[N_{2}\right]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{3} \frac{\Delta\left[H_{2}\right]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta\left[NH_{3}\right]}{\Delta t}$
$\therefore \frac{-\Delta\left[H_{2}\right]}{\Delta t}=\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{\Delta\left[NH_{3}\right]}{\Delta t}=\frac{3}{2}\times2\times10^{-4}$
$=3\times10^{-4}\,mol\,L^{-1}S^{-1}$

Rate of a Chemical Reaction

The rate of a chemical reaction is defined as the change in concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

Consider the reaction A → B,

Rate of the reaction is given by,

Rate = −d[A]/ dt=+d[B]/ dt

Where, [A] → concentration of reactant A

[B] → concentration of product B

(-) A negative sign indicates a decrease in the concentration of A with time.

(+) A positive sign indicates an increase in the concentration of B with time.

Factors Determining the Rate of a Reaction:

There are certain factors that determine the rate of a reaction:

  1. Temperature
  2. Catalyst
  3. Reactant Concentration
  4. Chemical nature of Reactant
  5. Reactant Subdivision rate
