Question
2SO2+O2→2SO3 Rate of formation of SO3 according to the reaction is 1.6×10−3 kg min−1. Hence rate at which SO2 reacts is:
Solution
The reaction is: 2SO2 + O2 → 2SO3
The rate of formation of SO3 is given as 1.6×10−3 kg min−1.
From the stoichiometry of the reaction, we can see that 2 moles of SO2 react to form 2 moles of SO3. This means that the rate of reaction of SO2 is the same as the rate of formation of SO3.
Therefore, the rate at which SO2 reacts is also 1.6×10−3 kg min−1.
