Answer:
The rate of disappearance of [tex]NO_2[/tex] for this period is[tex]-1.32\times 10^{-5} M/s[/tex]
Explanation:
Initial concentration of [tex]NO_2[/tex] = x = 0.0138 M
Final concentration of [tex]NO_2[/tex] = y = 0.00886 M
Time elapsed during change in concentration = Δt = 374 s
Change in concentration ,[tex]\Delta [NO_2][/tex]= y - x = 0.00886 - 0.0138 M = -0.00494 M
The rate of disappearance of [tex]NO_2[/tex] for this period is:
[tex]\frac{\Delta [NO_2]}{\Delta t}=\frac{-0.00494 M}{374 s}=-1.32\times 10^{-5} M/s[/tex]
