Chapter 13, Problem 13.29QP

Consider the reaction $3\text{A}\stackrel{}{\to }2\text{B}+\text{C}$.

1. a One rate expression for the reaction is

$\text{Rate}\text{of}\text{formation}\text{of}\text{C}=+\frac{\Delta [\text{C}]}{\Delta t}$

Write two other rate expressions for this reaction in this form.

1. b Using your two rate expressions, if you calculated the average rate of the reaction over the same time interval, would the rates be equal?
2. c If your answer to part b was no, write two rate expressions that would give an equal rate when calculated over the same time interval.
