A_(2)B is anideal gas, which decompase according f to theequation : A_(2) B toA_(2)+ (1)/(2)B_(2) . Atstart , the initial pressureis 100 mm Hgand after 5 minutes , the pressureis 120 mm Hg. Whatis the averagerateof decompositionof A_(2)B ? AssumeT and V are constant .

Answer»

Solution :The decomposition reaction of gaseous `A_(2)B` is given as `A_(2)B to A_(2)+(1)/(2)B_(2)`
`100 0 0` at start of the reaction
`100-2x 2x X` after the reaction
`100-2x+2x+x=100+x=120"MM"`
`x=20mm "or" 2x=40mm`
The decrease in pressure of reactant SUBSTANCE, `A_(2)B` in `5` min is `40` mm.
The rate of decomposition of `A_(2)B=(40)/(5)`
`8 "mm min"^(-1)=0.133"mm" s^(-1)`
