The rate of the reaction in terms of the \"disappearance of reactant\" includes

Question

The rate of the reaction in terms of the "disappearance of reactant" includes the change in the concentration of the reactant, the time interval, and the coefficient of the reactant. Consider the following reaction: 2A + 3B ----> 3C + 2D The concentrations of reactant A at three different time intervals are given. Use the following data to determine the average rate of reaction in terms of the disappearance of reactant A between time = 0 s and time = 20 s. Time (s) 0 20 40 [A] (M) 0.0400 0.0240 0.0180 Express your answer in molar concentration per second to three significant figures. Don't know how to approach this problem! Please help

Explanation / Answer

Rate = -(1/2) * dA / dt ............-(dA / dt)_1 = (0.04 - 0.024) / 20 = 8 x 10^-4 ............. => Rate = (1/2) x 8 x 10^-4 = 4 x 10^-4 M/s
