The decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide is described by the chemical equation: 2 N2O5(g) → 4 NO2(g) + O2(g). If the rate of appearance of O2 is 2.40 mol/min at a particular moment, what is the rate of disappearance of N2O5 at that moment?

For each of the following gas-phase reactions, write the rate expression in terms of the appearance of each product and disappearance of each reactant:

(a) 2 H₂O(g) → 2 H₂(g) + O₂(g)

(b) 2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 SO₃(g)

(c) 2 NO(g) + 2 H₂(g) → N₂(g) + 2 H₂O(g)

(d) N₂(g) + 2 H₂(g) → N₂H₄(g)

Ammonia is manufactured in large amounts by the reaction

N₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) → 2 NH₃(g)

(a) How is the rate of consumption of H₂ related to the rate of consumption of N₂?

The formation of alumina, Al₂O₃, can be illustrated by the reaction below:

4 Al (s) + 3 O₂ (g) → 2 Al₂O₃ (s)

At 750 K it takes 267 seconds for the initial concentration of Al₂O₃ to increase from 6.18 x 10^-5 M to 5.11 x 10^-4 M. What is the average rate of Al?
