In the reaction, BrO-3(aq) + 5Br-(aq) + 6H+ 3Br2(l) + 3H2O(l). The rate of appearance of bromine (Br2) is related to rate of disappearance of bromide ions as
- d[Br2]dt = - 53 d[Br-]dt
- d[Br2]dt = 53 d[Br-]dt
- d[Br2]dt = 35 d[Br-]dt
- d[Br2]dt = - 35 d[Br-]dt
Answer
(4) d[Br2]dt = - 35 d[Br-]dt
Solution
Rate = - 15 d[Br-]dt = 13 d[Br2]dt
d[Br2]dt = - 35 d[Br-]dt
(Negative sign: Br- is consumed while Br2 is formed.)
Answer: (4)
