Question

5Br−+BrO3−+6H+→3Br2+3H2O

Write the equations that relate the rates of consumption of the reactants and the rates of formation of the products.

Answer 1

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction is,

`5Br^-+BrO_3^-+6H^+\rightarrow 3Br_2+3H_2O`

The expression for the rates of consumption of the reactants are:

The rate of consumption of
`Br^-` =
`-(1)/(5)(d[Br^-])/(dt)`

The rate of consumption of
`BrO_3^-` =
`-(d[BrO_3^-])/(dt)`

The rate of consumption of
`H^+` =
`(1)/(6)(d[H^+])/(dt)`

The expression for the rates of formation of the products are:

The rate of consumption of
`Br_2` =
`+(1)/(3)(d[Br_2])/(dt)`

The rate of consumption of
`H_2O` =
`+(1)/(3)(d[H_2O])/(dt)`
