For the reaction: C₂H₄Br₂ + 3 KI → C₂H₄+ 2 KBr + KI₃,when the rate of appearance of C₂H₄ is 2.0 × 10^-5 M/s,what is the rate of disappearance of C₂H₄Br₂?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate of disappearance of a reactant is equal to the rate of appearance of a product in a 1:1 stoichiometric reaction. Since the given reaction shows a direct conversion without any change in stoichiometry between the reactant and the product mentioned, the rate of disappearance of the reactant is the same as the rate of appearance of the product, which is 2.0 × 10^-5 M/s.

For the Reaction: C2H4Br2 + 3 KI → C2H4

For the Reaction: C₂H₄Br₂ + 3 KI → C₂H₄
