Consider the following reaction 8A(g)+ 5B(g) $\to$ 8C(g)+ 6D(g) If [C] is increasing at the rate of 4.0 mol L^-1s^-1,at what rate is [B] changing?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

From the balanced equation, we can see that the stoichiometric coefficient ratio of B to C is 5:8. Therefore, if [C] is increasing at a rate of 4.0 mol L^-1 s^-1, then [B] must be changing at a rate of (5/8) x 4.0 = 2.5 mol L^-1 s^-1. Thus, the best choice is B.

Consider the Following Reaction 8A(g)+ 5B(g) →\to→ 8C(g)+ 6D(g) If [C] Is Increasing at the Rate of [C]

Consider the Following Reaction
