Answer: 850.0 g/min.
Explanation:
- The rate of the reaction = (ΔC/Δt) where,
ΔC is the change in concentration of reactants or products.
Δt is the change in time of the reaction proceeding.
- The rate is needed to be calculated in (g/min).
- We need to calculate the amount of the product in (g) via using the relation (n = mass / molar mass).
- mass (g) = n x molar mass,
- n = 1.5 moles and molar mass of P₄O₁₀ = 283.88 g/mol.
- m = 1.5 x 283.88 = 425.82 g.
- ΔC = 425.82 g and Δt = 30 s / 60 = 0.5 min.
- The rate of the reaction = ΔC / Δt = (425.82 g / 0.5 min) = 851.64 g/min.
can be approximated to 850.0 g/min.
