CBSEENCH12006244

Explain the relationship between the rate of production of iodine and rate of disappearance of hydrogen iodide in the following reaction?
        2HI   H2+I2.

Solution

Rate of disappearance of HI

                              = -dHIdt

Rate of appearance of I2 = dI2dt.

From the chemical equation,
Rate of production I2

                = 12×Rate of disappearance of HI

Therefore, dI2dt = 12 dHIdt.
