Question

Given the following reaction, when [E] is decreasing at 0.2 mol/L s, how fast is [G] increasing?

2D(g) + 3E(g) + 5F(g) --> 7G(g) + 6H(g)

Expert Solution
Step 1

The rate of a chemical reaction is the change in concentration over the change in time and is a metric of the "speed" at which a chemical reactions occurs and can be defined in terms of two observables:

  • The Rate of Disappearance of Reactants 

Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Note this is negative because it measures the rate of disappearance of the reactants.

  • The Rate of Formation of Products

Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 2

This is the rate at which the products are formed.

They both are linked via the balanced chemical reactions and can both be used to measure the reaction rate.
