For a chemical reaction , the rate of disappearance of is . What is the rate of formation of ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B.
- Step 1: Relate the rates through reaction stoichiometry: .
- Step 2: Substitute the rate of disappearance of : .
- Step 3: Calculate the rate of appearance of : .
Answer
.
Why not the others: inverts the stoichiometric ratio to ; multiplies by without dividing by ; divides by instead of multiplying.
