question 70

Multiple Choice

Which of the given relationships correctly compares the rates of the reactants and products for the reaction below?
2 NOCl(g) ? 2 NO(g) + Cl₂(g)

• A) \(- \frac { \Delta [ \mathrm { NOCl } ] } { \Delta t } = \frac { \Delta [ \mathrm { NO } ] } { \Delta t } + \frac { \Delta \left[ \mathrm { Cl } _ { 2 } \right] } { \Delta t }\)
• B) \(\frac { \Delta [ \mathrm { NOCl } ] } { \Delta t } = \frac { \Delta [ \mathrm { NO } ] } { \Delta t } = \frac { \Delta \left[ \mathrm { Cl } _ { 2 } \right] } { \Delta t }\)
• C) \(- \frac { 1 } { 2 } \frac { \Delta [ \mathrm { NOCl } ] } { \Delta t } = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \frac { \Delta [ \mathrm { NO } ] } { \Delta t } = \frac { \Delta \left[ \mathrm { Cl } _ { 2 } \right] } { \Delta t }\)
• D) \(\frac { - 2 \Delta [ \mathrm { NOCl } ] } { \Delta t } = \frac { 2 \Delta [ \mathrm { NO } ] } { \Delta t } = \frac { \Delta \left[ \mathrm { Cl } _ { 2 } \right] } { \Delta t }\)
• E) \(\frac { \Delta [ \mathrm { NOCl } ] } { \Delta t } = \frac { \Delta t } { \Delta [ \mathrm { NO } ] } = \frac { \Delta t } { \Delta \left[ \mathrm { Cl } _ { 2 } \right] }\)
