NEETChemistryChemical Kinetics
In a reaction where the stoichiometric coefficients of the reactants and products are the same, what is the relationship between the rate of disappearance of reactants and the rate of appearance of products?
Options
- AThe rates are equal.
- BThe rates are inversely proportional.
- CThe rates are directly proportional.
- DThe rates are zero.
Correct answer
A. The rates are equal.
Step-by-step solution
In a reaction with stoichiometric coefficients of reactants and products being the same, the rate of disappearance of any of the reactants is the same as the rate of appearance of the products.
