Question

(a) Consider the combustion of butane, given below:

2 C4H10(g) + 13 O2(g)  8 CO2(g) + 10 H2O(g)

If C4H10(g) is decreasing at the rate of 0.700 mol/s, what are the rates of change of O2(g), CO2(g), and H2O(g)?



O2(g)/t =  mol/s

CO2(g)/t =  mol/s

H2O(g)/t =  mol/s




(b) The decomposition reaction given below:

2 N2O5(g)  4 NO2(g) + 1 O2(g)

is carried out in a closed reaction vessel. If the partial pressure of N2O5(g) is decreasing at the rate of 634 torr/min, what is the rate of change of the total pressure in the vessel?



Ptot /t =  torr/min
