Answer:
1.8 × 10⁻⁴ mol M/s
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced reaction
2 Br⁻ ⇒ Br₂
Step 2: Establish the appropriate molar ratio
The molar ratio of Br⁻ to Br₂ is 2:1.
Step 3: Calculate the rate of appearance of Br₂
The rate of disappearance of Br⁻ at some moment in time was determined to be 3.5 × 10⁻⁴ M/s. The rate of appearance of Br₂ is:
3.5 × 10⁻⁴ mol Br⁻/L.s × (1 mol Br₂/2 mol Br⁻) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁴ mol Br₂/L.s
