For the reaction 3 A + 2 B --> 4 C. If the rate of production of C is 8.0 M/s, what is the rate of the reaction
3A + 2B ----> 4C
rate of production of C is 8.0 M/s
3A + 2B ----> 4 x 8
3A + 2B -----> 24 ----> eqn 1
when A= 0 eqn 1 becomes
2B=24
B = 12 M/s
Now substitute B=12 in eqn 1
3 A + 2(12) = 24
A = 0 M/s
Rate of reaction = changes in concentration,volume or mass /
time taken
Therefore it depends on what units you're using.
Quick example,
a ) x mol dm^-3 / y min = x/y mol dm^-3 min^-1
b ) x cm^3 / y s = x/y cm^3 s^-1
And just telling this one,
If rate of reaction = changes in concentration,volume or mass /
time taken
Then Rate of reaction x time taken = changes in
concentration,volume or mass
Or Time taken = changes in concentration,volume or mass / rate of
reaction
