Question

The rate of the following reaction is 0.960 M/s. What is the relative rate of change of each species in the reaction? `A + 3B -> 2C`

Answer 1

`A + 3B -> 2C`

It’s given that

`"0.960 M/s" = -(d[A])/dt = -1/3(d[B])/dt = 1/2(d[C])/dt`

So,

`(d[A])/dt = -"0.960 M/s"`

`(d[B])/dt = -3 × "0.960 M/s" = -"2.88 M/s"`

`(d[C])/dt = 2 × "0.960 M/s" = "1.92 M/s"`
