7A. 1 in the 7th edition

[Adams Dis 1A]

What is the question trying to ask? I am extremely confused on this one.

[Kavvya Gupta 1H]

it's similar to what Lavelle went over on Friday in lecture to where you treat it like a ratio

[Anusha 1H]

you basically just have to look at the ratios of the gases they're asking for.
For a) the ratio of N2 to H2 is 1:3, so the rate N2 is consumed at would be 1/3 the rate of consumption of H2

This question is basically asking you to compare their rates, which can be determined by looking at their stoichiometric coefficients.
In this question, you're given the equation A+3B --> 2C. You know that A will be decreasing 3 times slower than B because only one mole of A is decomposing for every 3 moles of B. Logically, it makes sense that B would decompose at a rate 3 times faster than A. You can apply this logic to a reactant and product too. For every one mole of A that decomposes, it will form 2 moles of C. Therefore, the rate of formation of C is two times faster than the decomposition of one mole of A.

Basically isolate what you are looking at in the equation to the gases that the question is asking about and then set them equal to each other. If you divide the molar coefficients (what side you solve for depends on what chemical the question is asking about) and you will get the ratio of the rate of either formation or decomposition.
