Given the following balanced equation,determine the rate of reaction with respect to [SO₃].If the rate of O₂ loss is 3.56 × 10^-3 M/s,what is the rate of formation of SO₃?
2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 SO₃(g)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stoichiometry of the reaction shows that 1 mole of O₂ produces 2 moles of SO₃. Therefore, the rate of formation of SO₃ is twice the rate of loss of O₂: 2 × 3.56 × 10⁻³ M/s = 7.12 × 10⁻³ M/s.
