Answer:
Rate of the reaction is 0.2593 M/s
-0.5186 M/s is the rate of the loss of ozone.
Explanation:
The rate of the reaction is defined as change in any one of the concentration of reactant or product per unit time.
[tex]2O_3\rightleftharpoons 3O_2[/tex]
Rate of formation of oxygen : [tex]7.78\times 10^{-1} M/s[/tex]
Rate of the reaction(R) =[tex]\frac{-1}{2}\frac{d[O_3]}{dt}=\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}[/tex]
[tex]R=\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}[/tex]
Rate of formation of oxygen=3 × (R)
[tex]7.78\times 10^{-1} M/s=3\times R[/tex]
Rate of the reaction(R): [tex]0.2593 M/s[/tex]
Rate of the reaction is 0.2593 M/s
Rate of disappearance of the ozone:
[tex]R=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[O_3]}{dt}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{d[O_3]}{dt}=-2\times R=-2\times 0.2593\times M/s=-0.5186M/s[/tex]
-0.5186 M/s is the rate of the loss of ozone.
