For the reaction `2A + 3B + 3/2C rarr 3P` the correct relation between rate of reaction of species A,B,C is

A

`d(n_A)/dt = 2/3 d(n_B)/dt = 4/3 d(n_C/dt)`

B

`2d(n_A)/dt = 3 d(n_B)/dt = 3/2 d(n_C/dt)`

C

`3/2 d(n_A)/dt = d(n_B)/dt = 3/4 d(n_C/dt)`

D

`d(n_A)/dt = d(n_B)/dt = d(n_C/dt)`

The correct Answer is:
To find the correct relation between the rates of reaction of species A, B, and C for the reaction: \[ 2A + 3B + \frac{3}{2}C \rightarrow 3P \] we will use the concept of stoichiometry in chemical reactions. The rate of a reaction can be expressed in terms of the change in concentration of the reactants and products over time. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Stoichiometric Coefficients:** - From the balanced equation, we can see the stoichiometric coefficients: - For A: 2 - For B: 3 - For C: \( \frac{3}{2} \) 2. **Write the Rate Expressions:** - The rate of the reaction can be expressed in terms of the change in concentration of each reactant: \[ \text{Rate} = -\frac{1}{2} \frac{d[A]}{dt} = -\frac{1}{3} \frac{d[B]}{dt} = -\frac{2}{3} \frac{d[C]}{dt} \] 3. **Relate the Rates:** - From the rate expressions, we can derive the relationships: - For A: \[ \frac{d[A]}{dt} = -2 \times \text{Rate} \] - For B: \[ \frac{d[B]}{dt} = -3 \times \text{Rate} \] - For C: \[ \frac{d[C]}{dt} = -\frac{3}{2} \times \text{Rate} \] 4. **Express the Rates in Terms of a Common Rate:** - Let’s denote the rate of the reaction as \( r \): - For A: \[ r = -\frac{1}{2} \frac{d[A]}{dt} \implies \frac{d[A]}{dt} = -2r \] - For B: \[ r = -\frac{1}{3} \frac{d[B]}{dt} \implies \frac{d[B]}{dt} = -3r \] - For C: \[ r = -\frac{2}{3} \frac{d[C]}{dt} \implies \frac{d[C]}{dt} = -\frac{3}{2}r \] 5. **Summarize the Relationships:** - Therefore, we can summarize the relationships between the rates of change of concentrations: \[ \frac{d[A]}{dt} : \frac{d[B]}{dt} : \frac{d[C]}{dt} = -2 : -3 : -\frac{3}{2} \] 6. **Final Relation:** - To express this in a more standard form, we can multiply through by a common factor (e.g., 6) to eliminate fractions: \[ 6 \cdot \left(-2 : -3 : -\frac{3}{2}\right) = -12 : -18 : -9 \] - Thus, the final relation can be simplified to: \[ 12 : 18 : 9 \] ### Conclusion: The correct relation between the rates of reaction of species A, B, and C is: \[ \frac{d[A]}{dt} : \frac{d[B]}{dt} : \frac{d[C]}{dt} = 2 : 3 : \frac{3}{2} \]
