A scientist conducts an experiment to determine the rate of the following reaction: 2 N₂O₅(g) $\rightarrow$ 4 NO₂(g) +O₂(g)
If the initial concentration of NO₂ was 0.000 M and the concentration of NO₂ was 0.050 M after 0.100s, what is the average rate of reaction over the first 100 milliseconds?

Question

A scientist conducts an experiment to determine the rate of the following reaction: 2 N₂O₅(g)

\rightarrow

4 NO₂(g) +O₂(g)
If the initial concentration of NO₂ was 0.000 M and the concentration of NO₂ was 0.050 M after 0.100s, what is the average rate of reaction over the first 100 milliseconds?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The average rate of reaction is calculated by dividing the change in concentration by the change in time. In this case, the change in concentration of NO2 is 0.050 M - 0.000 M = 0.050 M, and the change in time is 0.100 s - 0.000 s = 0.100 s. Therefore, the average rate of reaction is 0.050 M / 0.100 s = 0.50 M/s.
