Formula and explanation
Formula: v = k · p(N₂) · (p(H₂)^(1.5))/(p(NH₃)). Applicable conditions: Reaction occurring on the surface of an iron catalyst. Description: This is an empirical rate equation, indicating that the reaction rate is proportional to the partial pressure of nitrogen, proportional to the partial pressure of hydrogen to the power of 1.5, and inversely proportional to the partial pressure of ammonia.
