Question

) Given the following balanced equation, determine the rate of reaction with respect to [O2]. If the rate of formation of O2is 7.78 × 10-1M/s, what is the rate of the loss of O3

Answer 1

Answer:

Rate of the reaction is 0.2593 M/s

-0.5186 M/s is the rate of the loss of ozone.

Explanation:

The rate of the reaction is defined as change in any one of the concentration of reactant or product per unit time.

$2O_3\rightleftharpoons 3O_2$

Rate of formation of oxygen : $7.78\times 10^{-1} M/s$

Rate of the reaction(R) =$\frac{-1}{2}\frac{d[O_3]}{dt}=\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}$

$R=\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}$

Rate of formation of oxygen=3 × (R)

$7.78\times 10^{-1} M/s=3\times R$

Rate of the reaction(R): $0.2593 M/s$

Rate of the reaction is 0.2593 M/s

Rate of disappearance of the ozone:

$R=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[O_3]}{dt}$

$\frac{d[O_3]}{dt}=-2\times R=-2\times 0.2593\times M/s=-0.5186M/s$

-0.5186 M/s is the rate of the loss of ozone.
