Question

The rate of disappearance of hbr in the gas phase reaction 2hbr(g)?h2(g)+br2(g) is 0.160 m s-1 at 150°c. the rate of appearance of h2 is ________ m s-1.

Answer 1

The reaction rates of the substances whether disappearance of a reactant or the appearance of a product are related to each other by the chemical reaction. The reaction rates are related as follows:

rate = rHBr / 2 = rBr2 = rH2

rH2 = 0.160 / 2 = 0.08 M/s
