Question
Rate of formation of SO3 according to the reaction 2SO2+O2→2SO3is1.6×10−3kgmin−1. Hence rate at which SO2 reacts is:
Solution
The reaction is 2SO2 + O2 → 2SO3.
The stoichiometric coefficient of SO2 is 2, and that of SO3 is also 2.
This means that for every 2 moles of SO2 that react, 2 moles of SO3 are formed.
Therefore, the rate of reaction of SO2 is the same as the rate of formation of SO3.
So, the rate at which SO2 reacts is 1.6×10−3 kg/min.
