For the reaction 2A + 4B ----> 2C + 2D, at a particular instant in time, the rate of the reaction is 0.0352 M/s. What is the rate of change of B? Show Work!

A. 0.0088 M/s
B. -0.0088 M/s
C. -0.141 M/s
D. -0.0352 M/s
E. 0.141 M/s

Answer :

Explanation:

The given chemical equation is:

[tex]2A + 4B -> 2C + 2D[/tex]

The rate of the reaction is 0.0352 M/s.

During the course of the reaction, the rate of reactants decreases, and the rate of products increases.

The rate of disappearance of B is shown below:

[tex]rate=-\frac{1}{4} \frac{d[B]}{dt}[/tex]

So, rate of change of B is :

[tex]rate of change of B =- rate * 4\\=-0.0352 M/s * 4\\=-0.1408M/s\\\\=-0.141M/s[/tex]

Option C.

In the given reaction, rate of change of reactant B is equal to -0.141 M/s.

What is the rate of reaction?

Rate of any chemical reaction defines the speed of the completion of that reaction.

In the question given reaction is:

2A + 4B ----> 2C + 2D

Rate of reaction = 0.0352 M/s.

Rate of the reaction with respect to the reactant B is written as:

Rate = [tex]${\rm{ - }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{4}}}\frac{{\left[ {{\rm{dB}}} \right]}}{{{\rm{dT}}}}$[/tex], where negative sign shows the disappearance of reactant B.

Rate of change of B i.e. [tex]$\frac{{{\rm{dB}}}}{{{\rm{dT}}}}$[/tex] =  4 × (-rate)

[tex]$\frac{{{\rm{dB}}}}{{{\rm{dT}}}}$[/tex] =  4 × (-0.0352) = -0.1408 = -0.141 M/s

Hence, -0.141 M/s is the rate of change of B.
