Solution

The correct option is B 200 mol sec1
To find out how much CO2 was produced, let us write down the rate law.


Let us calculate the amount of O2 produced in 10 seconds. That would just be 100 x 10 right?
So, 1000 moles of O2 would be produced in 10 seconds. Fitting for a dragon!

Now, from the rate law we can see that the amount of CO2 would be 2 times that amount.


Therefore, rate of production of CO2 would be 200 mol sec-1
