For the reaction 2N2O5(g) -> 4NO2(g) + O2(g), if the rate of reaction is r, what is the rate of formation of NO2?
AEqual to r
BHalf of r
CTwice r
DFour times r
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Four times r
1. Rate $= \dfrac{1}{4}\dfrac{\Delta[NO_2]}{\Delta t} = r$.
2. Rearranging, $\dfrac{\Delta[NO_2]}{\Delta t} = 4r$.
3. So NO2 forms at four times the reaction rate.
4. Distractor B confuses the divisor with multiplier; distractor A ignores the coefficient 4.
