For the reaction 2A + B → 3C + D which of the following does not express the reaction rate?

  1. -d[B]/dt
  2. d[D]/dt
  3. -1/2 d[A]/dt
  4. -1/3 d[C]/dt

Correct answer: -1/3 d[C]/dt

Solution

The rate of reaction is expressed as the change in concentration of reactants or products per unit time, divided by their stoichiometric coefficients. Option D, -1/3 d[C]/dt, is incorrect because the coefficient of C is 3, so the correct term should be +1/3 d[C]/dt.
