A chemical substance has the characteristics that it cannot be separated by physical methods. Seawater and milk can be separated by sedimentation, and air has different components depending on other aspects (such as elevation). Only ammonia is a substance. (thus it can have a formula: NH<span>3)</span>
1 significant figure, because there is no decimal after the zero the zero doesn't count.
Answer:
c. rate=−1/2Δ[HBr]/Δt=Δ[H2]/Δt=Δ[Br2]/Δt
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

Thus, the rate is given as:
![rate=-\frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta [HBr]}{\Delta t}=\frac{\Delta [Br_2]}{\Delta t} =\frac{\Delta [H_2]}{\Delta t}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=rate%3D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5CDelta%20%5BHBr%5D%7D%7B%5CDelta%20t%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5CDelta%20%5BBr_2%5D%7D%7B%5CDelta%20t%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5CDelta%20%5BH_2%5D%7D%7B%5CDelta%20t%7D)
It is necessary to remember that each concentration to time interval is divided into the stoichiometric coefficient, that is why HBr has a 1/2. Moreover, the concentration HBr is negative since it is a reactant and it has a negative rate due to its consumption.
Therefore, the answer is:
c. rate=−1/2Δ[HBr]/Δt=Δ[H2]/Δt=Δ[Br2]/Δt
Best regards.
