1. At one point during an analysis of the reaction
shown below, compound W was used up at a rate of 0.4 molL-1S-1. At
what rate was compound Y being formed
2W+4X-> 3Y+2Z
a) 0.2 b) 0.3 c)0.4 d) 0.6 e) 0.8
2. what is the rate of the reaction described in question 1
a) 0.2 b) 0.3 c)0.4 d)0.6 e) 0.8
1) Ans= d
For example, aA +b B ------------> cC + dD
Rate of disappearance of reactants = Rate of appearance of products
(−1/a) Δ[A]/Δt = (−1/b) Δ[B]/Δt = (+1/c) Δ[C]/Δt = (+1/d) Δ[D]/Δt
Hence,
rate of disappearance of W = rate of formation of Y
(−1/2) Δ[W]/Δt = (+1/3) Δ[Y]/Δt
(-1/2) (- 0.4 mol L-1 s-1) = (+1/3) Δ[Y]/Δt
Δ[Y]/Δt = 0.6 mol L-1 s-1
2) Ans= a
rate of reaction = (−1/2) Δ[W]/Δt = (-1/2) (- 0.4 mol L-1 s-1) = 0.2 mol L-1 s-1
