the rate of disappearance of Br- at some moment in time was determined to be 3.5 x 10-4 M/s. What is the rate of appearance of Br2 at that same moment

1.8 × 10⁻⁴ mol M/s

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced reaction

2 Br⁻ ⇒ Br₂

Step 2: Establish the appropriate molar ratio

The molar ratio of Br⁻ to Br₂ is 2:1.

Step 3: Calculate the rate of appearance of Br₂

The rate of disappearance of Br⁻ at some moment in time was determined to be 3.5 × 10⁻⁴ M/s. The rate of appearance of Br₂ is:

3.5 × 10⁻⁴ mol Br⁻/L.s × (1 mol Br₂/2 mol Br⁻) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁴ mol Br₂/L.s

"hydrogen bonding is the attraction of h atoms in the water molecule (slight + charge) to o atoms in a neighboring water molecule (slight - charge); it is a weak interatomic force. but it is still strong enough to the water molecules "stick" together."
