Consider the general reaction 5Br^-(aq) + BrO₃^-(aq) + 6H⁺(aq) → 3Br₂(aq) + 3H₂O(aq) For this reaction, which is equal to Δ[Br₂]/Δt?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate of formation of Br₂ is related to the rate of consumption of Br⁻ by the stoichiometry of the reaction. Since 5 moles of Br⁻ produce 3 moles of Br₂, the rate of formation of Br₂ is -0.6 times the rate of consumption of Br⁻.
