CBSEENCH12006301

For the reaction A + B → 2C at a given temperature, the rate of disappearance of A is found to be 10-2 moles L–1 sec–1. Calculate (i) rate of disappearance of B and (ii) rate of formation of C.

Solution

For  a given reaction 
A + B → 2C
we have given 
 the rate of disappearance of A is  10-2 moles L–1 sec–1

(ii)
 rate of expression can be written as 

-d[A]dt=-d[B]dt

since rate of  disappearance of A is given to be 10-2 moles L–1 sec–1
thus 
rate of  disappearance B 10-2 moles L–1 sec–1


(iii)
d[A]dt= 12d[C]dtas given  d[A]dt= 10-2moles L-1 sec-1thus 10-2moles L-1 sec-1 = 12d[C]dtd[C]dt=2x10-2moles L-1 sec-1
for Ans. (i) 10–2 mol L–1 sec–1   (ii) 2 x 10–2mole L–1 sec–1
