Practice Problem ATTEMPT

Consider the reaction:

${\text{4PH}}_{\text{3}}\left(g\right)\underset{}{\to }{\text{ P}}_{\text{4}}\left(g\right){\text{ + 6H}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)$

At a particular point during the reaction, molecular hydrogen is being formed at the rate of 0.168 M/s. (a) At what rate is ${\text{P}}_{\text{4}}$ being produced? (b) At what rate is ${\text{PH}}_{\text{3}}$ being consumed?
