Question

For the reaction, $2N_2{O}_5⟶4{NO}_2+O_2$ the rate of reaction is:

• A. $\frac{1}{2}\frac{d}{dt}\left[N_2{O}_5\right]$
• B. $2\frac{d}{dt}\left[N_2{O}_5\right]$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}\frac{d}{dt}\left[{NO}_2\right]$
• D. $4\frac{d}{dt}\left[{NO}_2\right]$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{2}\frac{d}{dt}\left[{NO}_2\right]$

For the reaction, $2N_2{O}_5⟶4{NO}_2+O_2$ the rate of reaction is $\frac{1}{2}\frac{d}{dt}\left[{NO}_2\right]$

Rate of reaction $-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d\left[N_2{O}_5\right]}{dt}=\frac{1}{4}\frac{d\left[{NO}_2\right]}{dt}$
