Problem 4 (10 points), The rate of consumption of benzene in a combustion reaction 2C6H6 = 15CO2 + 6H2O is 0.24. What is the rate in oxygen? Enter your answer in scientific notation (e.g. 1.23E-4). Answer: The rate in oxygen is 0.24/2 = 0.12.

Step 1
From the balanced equation, we can see that for every 2 moles of CaH2, we need 3 moles of O2 to completely combust the benzene. Show more…

In each case, write the rate expression for the stated reaction and find the rates of all other species using the given rate (balance the reactions). a. CO2(g) + H2O(g) -> C6H12O6(g) + O2(g) Rate of formation of O2 = 0.802 M/s b. O3(g) -> O2(g) Rate of depletion of O3 = 2.3x10^-3 M/s c. H2O2(g) -> H2O(g) + O2(g) Rate of formation of H2O = 1.21 M/s

Consider the combustion of ethane: $$ 2 \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}(g)+7 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g) $$ If the ethane is burning at the rate of $0.20 \mathrm{~mol} / \mathrm{L} \cdot \mathrm{s},$ at what rates are $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ being produced?
