Answer: ![-\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{d[Br^.]}{dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BBr%5E.%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D%3D%2B%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BBr_2%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D)
Explanation:
Rate of a reaction is defined as the rate of change of concentration per unit time.
Thus for reaction:

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.
![Rate=-\frac{d[Br^.]}{2dt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Rate%3D-%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BBr%5E.%5D%7D%7B2dt%7D)
or ![Rate=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Rate%3D%2B%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BBr_2%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D)
Thus ![-\frac{d[Br^.]}{2dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BBr%5E.%5D%7D%7B2dt%7D%3D%2B%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BBr_2%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D)
This is the equation for elastic potential energy, where U is potential energy, x is the displacement of the end of the spring, and k is the spring constant.
<span> U = (1/2)kx^2
</span><span> U = (1/2)(5.3)(3.62-2.60)^2
</span> U = <span>
<span>2.75706 </span></span>J
Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²
BUT . . . in order to use this equation just the way it's written,
the speed has to be in meters per second. So we'll have to
make that conversion.
KE = (1/2) · (1,451 kg) · (48 km/hr)² · (1000 m/km)² · (1 hr/3,600 sec)²
= (725.5) · (48 · 1000 · 1 / 3,600)² (kg) · (km·m·hr / hr·km·sec)²
= (725.5) · ( 40/3 )² · ( kg·m² / sec²)
= 128,978 joules (rounded)
The only balanced equation is B. If you look at the equation and break it down you can see that in:

→

Starting from the left side of the equation there are 2 Nitrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms as indicated by the subscript.
To balance the equation, the number of atoms of each element in the right side equation should be equal to left. By putting the numerical coefficient of 2, you will distribute that to each element. So you will end up with 2 nitrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms on the left side of the equation. Thus, the equation is balanced.
The answer again, is B.
