Given the following balanced equation, determine the rate of reaction with respect to [Cl2]. If the rate of Cl2 loss is 4.64 × 10-2 M/s, what is the rate of formation of NOCl? 2 NO(g) + Cl2(g) → 2 NOCl(g)

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, given the balanced chemical reaction:

Since there is 1:2 mole ratio between chlorine and NOCl, based on the rate proportions, we can write:

It means that for the formation of NOCl, we obtain:

Notice that chlorine is disappearing, which means its rate is negate.

Best regards!
