Question
### Calculating the Rate of Appearance of \( \text{P}_4 \)

Consider the following chemical reaction:

\[ 4 \text{PH}_3 \rightarrow \text{P}_4 + 6 \text{H}_2 \]

In a previous step, you calculated the rate of disappearance of \( \text{PH}_3 \) as \( 6.67 \times 10^{-3} \) M/s. The question at hand is: What is the rate of appearance of \( \text{P}_4 \) in the same time frame?

To find this, we use the reaction stoichiometry and rate relationships. The rate of reaction can be expressed as:

\[ \text{Rate} = -\frac{1}{4} \frac{\Delta [\text{PH}_3]}{\Delta t} = \frac{\Delta [\text{P}_4]}{\Delta t} \]

Given that the rate of disappearance of \( \text{PH}_3 \) is \( 6.67 \times 10^{-3} \text{ M/s} \), we use this information to calculate the rate of appearance of \( \text{P}_4 \).

\[ \text{Rate}_{\text{P}_4} = \boxed{[?]} \times 10^{\boxed{?}} \text{ M/s} \]

Finally, use the "Coefficient (green)" and "Exponent (yellow)" fields to input the appropriate values derived from the calculation to determine the exact rate of appearance of \( \text{P}_4 \).
