Consider,
Relating the stoichiometry as a function of time equivalates the rates of disappearance and appearance, like so,
With the former equivalency, we can prove the rate of the reaction.
Hence,
If
is the approximate rate of this elementary reaction.
To be sure, the rate of appearance of hydrogen gas is approximately equal to three times the rate of the reaction.
