241. Ammonia and oxygen react at high temperatures according to the equation
4NH₃(g) + 5O₂(g) 4NO(g) → + 6H₂O(g)
In an experiment, the rate of formation of NO was found to be 3.2 x 10^–3 mol L^–1 S^–1. Calculate the rate of disappearance of ammonia and the rate of formation of water.

Ammonia and oxygen react at high temperatures according to the equation
4NH₃(g) + 5O₂(g) 4NO(g) → + 6H₂O(g)

The relevant rate experessions for the given reaction are

rate = \frac{1}{4} \frac{[∆ {NH}_{3}]}{∆ t} = \frac{1}{4} \frac{∆ [NO]}{∆ t} = \frac{1}{6} \frac{∆ [H_{2} O]}{∆ t}

From the relationship between these expressions
rate of disappearance of NH₃ = rate of formation of NO

= 3.2 x 10^–3 mol L^–1 s^–1Rate of formation of water related to the rate of formation of NO as

\frac{1}{6} \frac{[∆ H_{2} O]}{∆ t} = \frac{1}{4} \frac{∆ [NO]}{∆ t}

or \frac{∆ [H_{2} O]}{∆ t} = \frac{6}{4} \frac{∆ [NO]}{∆ t} = \frac{6}{4} \times 3.2 \times 10^{- 3} mol L^{- 1} s^{- 1} = 4.8 \times 10^{- 3} mol L^{- 1} s^{- 1} .

242. The decomposition of N₂O₅ in CCl₄ at 318 K has been studied by monitoring the concentration of N₂O₅ in the solution. Initially the concentration of N₂O₅ is 2.33 M and after 184 minutes, it is reduced to 2.08 M. The reaction takes place according to the equation:

2 N_{2} O_{5} (g) \to 4 {NO}_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g)

Calculate the average rate of this reaction in terms of hours, minutes and seconds. What is the rate of production of NO₂ during this period?

248. The gas phase decomposition of acetaldehyde
CH₃CHO(g) → CH₄(g) + CO(g)
at 680 K is observed to follow the rate expression

rate = \frac{- d [{CH}_{3} CHO]}{dt} = k {[{CH}_{3} CHO]}^{1 / 2}

If the rate of the decomposition is followed by monitoring the partial pressure of the acetaldehyde, we can express the rate as

\frac{{dp}_{{CH}_{3} CHO}}{dt} = k {[p_{{CH}_{3} CHO}]}^{3 / 2}

If the pressure is measured in atmosphere and time in minutes then
(i) What are the units of the rate of reaction?
(ii) What are the units of rate constant k?
