Question
For the hypothetical reaction A + 3B → 2C, the rate of appearance of C given by (Δ[C]/Δt) may also be expressed as
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
From stoichiometry: (1/2)(Δ[C]/Δt) = -(1)(Δ[A]/Δt) = -(1/3)(Δ[B]/Δt). Thus Δ[C]/Δt = -(2/3)(Δ[B]/Δt).
Hint
Use the relationship: (1/coefficient of product) × (rate of appearance) = -(1/coefficient of reactant) × (rate of disappearance).
