Which of the given relationships correctly compares the rates of the reactants and products for the reaction below? 2 NOCl(g)→ 2 NO(g)+ Cl₂(g)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given reaction is a decomposition reaction, where one reactant breaks down into two or more products. In this case, 2 moles of NOCl break down into 2 moles of NO and 1 mole of Cl2. Therefore, the reaction is expected to have a lower rate of production of products compared to the rate of consumption of reactants. Choice C correctly shows this relationship by having a larger rate constant for the reactants compared to the products.
