In the reaction of formation of sulphur trioxide by contact process 2 SO ₂+ O ₂ 2 SO ₃ the rate of reaction was measured as d [ O ₂ ] dt =-2.5 10⁻⁴ ~mol ~L ⁻¹ ~s ⁻¹ . The rate of reaction is terms of [ SO ₂ ] in mol L ⁻¹ ~s ⁻¹ will be:
Options
- A-1.25 10⁻⁴
- B-2.50 10⁻⁴
- C-3.75 10⁻⁴
- D-5.00 10⁻⁴
Correct answer
D. -5.00 10⁻⁴
Step-by-step solution
From rate law aligned &- 1 2 dSO ₂ dt =- dO ₂ dt = 1 2 dSO ₃ dt & - dSO ₂ dt =-2 dO ₂ dt &=-2 2.5 10⁻⁴ &=-5 10⁻⁴ ~mol ~L ⁻¹ ~s ⁻¹ aligned
