Write the balanced equation corresponding to the following rate expressions:

(a)

rate = $-\frac{1}{3}\frac{\Delta [{\text{CH}}_4]}{\Delta t}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t}=-\frac{\Delta [{\text{CO}}_2]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{4}\frac{\Delta [{\text{CH}}_3\text{OH]}}{\Delta t}$

(b)

Rate = $-\frac{1}{2}\frac{\Delta [{\text{N}}_2{\text{O}}_5]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{\Delta [{\text{N}}_2]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{5}\frac{\Delta [O_2\text{]}}{\Delta t}$

(c)

rate = $\frac{\Delta [{\text{H}}_2]}{\Delta t}=\frac{\Delta [\text{CO}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{\Delta [O_2\text{]}}{\Delta t}=\frac{\Delta [{\text{H}}_2{\text{CO}}_3]}{\Delta t}$
