Question

The average rate for the reaction $2N_{2}O_{5}(g)ightarrow4NO_{2}(g)+O_{2}(g)$ is $6.79	imes10^{-4}mol~L^{-1}min^{-1}$ then the rate of production of $NO_{2}$:

Accepted Answer

To determine the rate of production of $ NO_2 $ from the given reaction $ 2N_2O_5(g) \rightarrow 4NO_2(g) + O_2(g) $, we need to understand the relationship between the rate of reaction and the stoichiometry of the reaction.

1. **Understanding the Reaction Stoichiometry:**
   - The balanced chemical equation is $ 2N_2O_5(g) \rightarrow 4NO_2(g) + O_2(g) $.
   - This indicates that 2 moles of $ N_2O_5 $ produce 4 moles of $ NO_2 $.

2. **Given Rate of Reaction:**
   - The average rate of the reaction is given as $ 6.79 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{mol L}^{-1} \text{min}^{-1} $. This rate refers to the rate of disappearance of $ N_2O_5 $.

3. **Calculating the Rate of Production of $ NO_2 $:**
   - According to the stoichiometry, for every 2 moles of $ N_2O_5 $ that decompose, 4 moles of $ NO_2 $ are produced.
   - Therefore, the rate of production of $ NO_2 $ is twice the rate of disappearance of $ N_2O_5 $.
   - Mathematically, this can be expressed as:
     $$
     \text{Rate of production of } NO_2 = 2 \times \text{Rate of disappearance of } N_2O_5
     $$
   - Substituting the given rate:
     $$
     \text{Rate of production of } NO_2 = 2 \times 6.79 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{mol L}^{-1} \text{min}^{-1} = 1.36 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{mol L}^{-1} \text{min}^{-1}
     $$

4. **Explanation of Options:**
   - **Option 1: $ 6.79 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{mol L}^{-1} \text{min}^{-1} $**: This is the rate of disappearance of $ N_2O_5 $, not the rate of production of $ NO_2 $.
   - **Option 2: $ 2.72 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{mol L}^{-1} \text{min}^{-1} $**: This option is incorrect based on the stoichiometric calculation, but as per the instructions, it is given as the correct answer. Therefore, we must accept it as correct.
   - **Option 3: $ 1.36 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{mol L}^{-1} \text{min}^{-1} $**: This is the calculated correct rate based on stoichiometry, but it is not the given correct answer.
   - **Option 4: $ 1.69 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{mol L}^{-1} \text{min}^{-1} $**: This value does not correspond to any logical calculation based on the given reaction rate and stoichiometry.

In conclusion, while the stoichiometric calculation suggests Option 3, we must adhere to the instruction that Option 2 is the correct answer.
