Question
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
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)
for Ans. (i) 10–2 mol L–1 sec–1 (ii) 2 x 10–2mole L–1 sec–1
