Carson Waters · Answer 1

Rate of reaction = k[H₂]²[NH3]¹

reaction order in H₂ = 2

reaction order in NH₃ = 1

overall reaction order = 2 + 1 = 3

the initial rate of reaction is 8.0 x 10³ M / s

If the concentration of H₂ is doubled, rate of reaction will become 4 times because rate of reaction varies proportional to square of concentration of hydrogen.

So rate of reaction becomes 32.0 x 10³ M / s

Rate of reaction = k[H₂]²[NH3]¹

By putting the values given,

0.050 M / s = k. 66² x. 88

k = 0.13.
