2a + 3b + c ⟶ d + e the rate constant for this reaction is 0.25, and the reaction is second order in a and is first order in b and c. which option correctly gives the rate of the reaction if [a] is 0.4 m, [b] is 0.1 m and [c] is 0.2 m?

8.0x10⁻⁴ M/s

Explanation:

The rate of the reaction is given by the equation:

Where the minus signal indicates that the reactants are disappearing, k is the constant of the reaction, and x, y, and z are the orders of each compound.

-r = 0.25*(0.4)²*(0.1)*(0.2)

-r = 8.0x10⁻⁴ M/s

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
