In a reaction `2X to Y`, the concentration of X decreases from 3.0 mole/litre to 2.0 moles/litre in 5 minutes. The rate of reaction isA. 0.1 mol `L^(-1) "min"^(-1)`B. 5 mol `L^(-1) "min"^(-1)`C. 1 mol `L^(-1) "min"^(-1)`D. 0.5 mol `L^(-1) "min"^(-1)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Rate `= - (1)/(2) (Delta[X])/(Delta t)`
`= - (1)/(2) ((3 - 2))/(5) = - 0.1 mol L^(-1) "min"^(-1)`
Negative sign signifies the decrease in concentration.
