Solution

The correct option is C 1.5×102 molL1s1
For a given reaction, if:
aA+bBcC+dD

Overall rate r can be expressed as:

r=1a×d[A]dt=1b×d[B]dt=+1c×d[C]dt=+1dd[D]dt
where:

d[A]dt=Rate of disappearance of A

d[B]dt=Rate of disappearance of B

+d[C]dt=Rate of formation of C

+d[D]dt=Rate of formation of D

For:
N2O5(g)2NO2(g)+12O2(g)

r=d[N2O5]dt=+12×d[NO2]dt=+2×d[O2]dt

Rate of formation of NO2=2×Rate of disappearance of N2O5
Rate of disappearance of N2O5=12×3×102=1.5×102 molL1s1
