Question

For the reaction 3A →B + 2 C, the rate of change of B is 0.125 M/s. What is the corresponding rate of change of A? -0.125 M/s 0.125 M/s -0.375 M/s - 0.250 M/s 0.375 M/s

Answer 1

- 0.375 M/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation

3A →B + 2 C

tells us that A is consumed at 3X the rate that B is produced. If B is forming at the rate of 0.125 M/s, then A must be consumed (with a minus sign) at -3 X (0.125 M/s), or - 0.375 M/s.
