Question

For the reaction: 3 Cu(s) + 8 HNO3(aq) → 3 Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NO(g) + 4 H2O(l), the rate of change of HNO3 −Δ[HNO3]/Δt can be expressed equivalently as?  

Please see attached image, I need help understanding step by step how they came to this answer?

 

For the reaction: 

\[3 \text{Cu}(s) + 8 \text{HNO}_3(aq) \rightarrow 3 \text{Cu(NO}_3)_2(aq) + 2 \text{NO}(g) + 4 \text{H}_2\text{O}(l)\]

The rate of change of \(\text{HNO}_3: -\Delta[\text{HNO}_3]/\Delta t\) can be expressed equivalently as:

- **A)** \(-\Delta[\text{Cu}]/3\Delta t\) 
- **B)** \(8\Delta[\text{Cu}]/\Delta t\) 
- **C)** \(\Delta[\text{H}_2\text{O}]/2\Delta t\) 
- **D)** \(4\Delta[\text{NO}]/\Delta t\) Correct!
- **E)** \(3\Delta[\text{Cu(NO}_3)_2]/\Delta t\) 

The correct choice is **D**: \(4\Delta[\text{NO}]/\Delta t\).
