Learning the Mechanisms : Investigating the Breakdown of Ammonia and Reaction Rates

The video tutorial explains the decomposition of ammonia into nitrogen and hydrogen, highlighting that the rate of hydrogen formation is three times that of nitrogen. It details how to compute the rate of nitrogen formation using ammonia decomposition and equates rate expressions for decomposition reactions. Finally, it defines the rate of reaction for general reactions, emphasizing the role of stoichiometric coefficients.
