The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
A 100.0 mL flask is filled with 0.065 moles of A and allowed to react to form B according to the reaction below. The following experimental data are obtained for the amount of A as the reaction proceeds. What is the average rate of appearance of B in units of M/s between t = 10 min. and t = 30 min.? Assume that the volume of the flask is constant. A(g) → B(g)
Time 0.0 10.0 20.0 30.0 40.0
Moles of A 0.065 0.051 0.042 0.036 0.031
Solution :
Consider the following reaction as follows :
The experiment data is given as follows :
Time (min) : 0.0 10.0 20.0 30.0 40.0
Moles of A : 0.065 0.051 0.042 0.036 0.031
According to the rate of reaction concept, the rate can be expressed as a consumption of the reactant and formation of the product as follows :
Average rate :
Now we have to calculate the average rate between 10.0 to 30.0 min w.r.t. A as follows :
Rate
Therefore, the rate =
