The rate of disappearance of HBr in the gas phase reaction 2 HBr(g) → H2(g) + Br2(g) is 0.140 M s-1 at 150°C. The rate of appearance of Br2 is M s-1. The rate of disappearance of HBr in the gas phase reaction 2 HBr(g) → H2(g) + Br2(g) is 0.140 M s-1 at 150°C. The rate of appearance of Br2 is M s-1.
a. 0.0700
b. 1.28
c. 0.0196
d. 0.280
e. 0.374

The rate of appearance of is

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

Rate in terms of disappearance of HBr = =

Rate in terms of appearance of =

Given :

The rate of appearance of ;

Thus rate of appearance of is

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.
