Question:
$\text{For the reaction,}$ $\text{N}_2\text{O}_5(g) \rightarrow 2\text{NO}_2(g) + \frac{1}{2}\text{O}_2(g)}$ $\text{the value of the rate of disappearance of } \text{N}_2\text{O}_5 \text{ is given as } 6.25 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mol L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}. \text{ The rate of formation of } \text{NO}_2 \text{ and } \text{O}_2 \text{ is given respectively as:}$
Options:
-
1. $6.25 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mol L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1} \text{ and } 6.25 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mol L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}$
-
2. $1.25 \times 10^{-2} \text{ mol L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1} \text{ and } 3.125 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mol L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}$
-
3. $6.25 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mol L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1} \text{ and } 3.125 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mol L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}$
-
4. $1.25 \times 10^{-2} \text{ mol L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1} \text{ and } 6.25 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mol L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}$
Solution:
$\text{HINT: Rate of disappearance of reactant = rate of appearance of product}$ $\text{or } -\frac{1}{\text{stoichiometric coefficient}} \frac{d[\text{reactant}]}{dt} = +\frac{1}{\text{stoichiometric coefficient}} \frac{d[\text{product}]}{dt}$ $\text{Explanation:}$ $\text{For the reaction,}$ $\text{N}_2\text{O}_5(g) \rightarrow 2\text{NO}_2(g) + \frac{1}{2}\text{O}_2(g)$ $-\frac{d[\text{N}_2\text{O}_5]}{dt} = +\frac{1}{2} \frac{d[\text{NO}_2]}{dt} = +2 \frac{d[\text{O}_2]}{dt}$ $\therefore \frac{d[\text{NO}_2]}{dt} = 2 \times 6.25 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mol L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1} = 12.5 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mol L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1} = 1.25 \times 10^{-2} \text{ mol L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}$ $\frac{d[\text{O}_2]}{dt} = -\frac{d[\text{N}_2\text{O}_5]}{dt} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{6.25 \times 10^{-3}}{2} \text{ mol L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1} = 3.125 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mol L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}$
