Question

1. Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles H2 consumed per liter per second.

Answer 1

Answer:

1) 0.0025 mol/L.s.

2) 0.0025 mol/L.s.

Explanation:

• For the reaction:

H₂ + Cl₂ → 2HCl.

The average reaction rate = - Δ[H₂]/Δt = - Δ[Cl₂]/Δt = 1/2 Δ[HCl]/Δt

1. Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles H₂ consumed per liter per second.

The average reaction rate expressed in moles H₂ consumed per liter per second = - Δ[H₂]/Δt = - (0.02 M - 0.03 M)/(4.0 s) = 0.0025 mol/L.s.

2. Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles CI₂ consumed per liter per second.

The average reaction rate expressed in moles Cl₂ consumed per liter per second = - Δ[Cl₂]/Δt = - (0.04 M - 0.05 M)/(4.0 s) = 0.0025 mol/L.s.
