Chemistry Question on Chemical Kinetics
For the reaction H++BrO3−+3Br−−>5Br+2+H2O which of the following relation correctly represents the consumption & formation of reactants and products :
A
dtd[Br2]=−35dtd[Br−]
B
dtd[Br2]=−dtd[Br−]
C
dtd[Br2]=53dtd[Br−]
D
dtd[Br2]=−53dtd[Br−]
Answer
dtd[Br2]=−53dtd[Br−]
Explanation
Solution
Rate of disappearance of reactant
\hspace20mm = Rate of appearance of prodcut
\hspace10mm -\frac{1}{5}\frac{d [Br^-]}{dt} =+\frac{1}{3} \frac{d [Br_2]}{dt}
or dtd[Br2]=−53dtd[Br−]
