Consider the reaction: Cl2(g)+3F2(g)→2ClF3(g) Δ[Cl2]/Δt = -0.099 M/s .Find Δ[F2]/Δt Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Respuesta :

Hey there!

Given the reaction is :

Cl2(g) +  3 F2(g) = 2 ClF3(g)

The rate of a reaction is given by:

Rate = - Δ[Cl2] / Δt

=  (-1/3  Δ[F2] / Δt )   + ( 1/2  Δ[ClF3] / Δt )

Given that :  Δ[Cl2] / Δt  = - 0.099 M/s

From above rate law:

(- Δ[Cl2] / Δt ) =  ( -1/3  Δ[F2] / Δt )

( Δ[F2] / Δt )  = 3 *  ( Δ[Cl2] / Δt )

= 3 * ( - 0.099 ) =   - 0.297  M/s

Therefore:

Δ[F2]/Δt  = -0.297 M/s


Hope That helps!

The rate of consumption of fluorine in the reaction has been -0.297 M/s.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction has been:

[tex]\rm Cl_2\;+\;3\;F_2\;\rightarrow\;2\;ClF_3[/tex]

According to the reaction for the formation of 1 mole of chlorine fluoride, 1 mole of chlorine reacts with 3 moles of fluorine.

The amount of fluoride consumed in unit time has been 3 times the amount of chlorine consumed in the same time.

The [tex]\rm \dfrac{\Delta Cl_2}{\Delta t}[/tex] has been given to be -0.099 M/s.

It states that amount of chlorine consumed in 1 sec = 0.099 M.

The negative sign has been implied with the deduction in the concentration of Cl per second.

The amount of fluorine consumed at the same time has been 3 times the amount of Cl consumed.

Fluorine consumed ([tex]\rm \Delta\;F_2[/tex]) = 3 [tex]\times[/tex] 0.099 M

Fluorine consumed = 0.297 M.

The amount of fluorine consumed ([tex]\rm \Delta\;F_2[/tex]) per second is 0.297 M.

The rate of the depletion of fluorine in the reaction can be given as:

[tex]\rm \dfrac{\Delta\;F_2}{\Delta t}[/tex]= -0.297 M/s.

The rate of consumption of fluorine in the reaction has been -0.297 M/s.
