If the rate of formation (also called rate of production) of compound C is 2M/s in the reaction A --->2C, what is the rate of consumption of A

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the rate of production of C, we can compute the rate of consumption of A by using the rate relationships which include the stoichiometric coefficients at the denominators (-1 for A and 2 for C) as follows:

In such a way, solving the rate of consumption of A, we obtain:

Clearly, such rate is negative which account for consumption process.

Regards.

consider the reaction below.

at 500 k, the reaction is at equilibrium with the following concentrations.

[pci5]= 0.0095 m

[pci3] = 0.020

[ci2] = 0.020 m

what is the equilibrium constant for the given reaction?
