Interpretation:
The average rate of the reaction in millimoles per liter per microsecond is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The average rate of the reaction is referred to the change in the molar concentration in the distinct interval of time. Mathematically, the ratio of change in molar concentration of a reactant or a product to the change in the time interval gives the average
The average rate of consumption or the disappearance of reactant is negative. Mathematical expression is shown below.
The average rate of formation or the appearance of reactant is positive. Mathematical expression is shown below.

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- Because calcium carbonate is a sink for CO32- in a lake, the student in Exercise 12.39 decides to go a step further and examine the equilibrium between carbonate ion and CaCOj. The reaction is Ca2+(aq) + COj2_(aq) ** CaCO,(s) The equilibrium constant for this reaction is 2.1 X 10*. If the initial calcium ion concentration is 0.02 AI and the carbonate concentration is 0.03 AI, what are the equilibrium concentrations of the ions? A student is simulating the carbonic acid—hydrogen carbonate equilibrium in a lake: H2COj(aq) H+(aq) + HCO}‘(aq) K = 4.4 X 10"7 She starts with 0.1000 AI carbonic acid.

Which of the following conditions would lead to an increase in the amount of Pt(NH 3) 2CI 2 formed? The use of a low concentration of NH3 The addition of a large concentration of KCI The use of a large concentration of NH3 The use of a stoichiometric ration of K2PTCI4 and NH3arrow_forwardWater gas is a 1:1 mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas and is called water gas because it is formed from steam and hot carbon in the following reaction: H,0 (g) +C(s) =H,(g)+CO(g). Methanol, a liquid fuel that could possibly replace gasoline, can be prepared from water gas and hydrogen at high temperature and pressure in the presence of a suitable catalyst. What will happen to the concentrations of H,, CO, and CH,OH at equilibrium if more catalyst is added? (A Depends on the catalyst B Double Nothing D) Catalyst will be contaminatedarrow_forward
