Question

rate of formation of so3 In the following reaction 2SO2+O2=2SO3 is 100gm/min then find rate of disappearance of O2.

Answer 1

The rate of formation of so3 is twice the rate of disappearance of o2 which means the rate of disappearance of o2 is half the rate of formation of so3(due to molar ratio of o2:so3 being 1:2) therefore the reqd rate should be 50gm/min
