The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not correct for the reaction \( 4A + B \rightarrow 2C + 2D \), we need to analyze the rates of disappearance and appearance of the reactants and products involved in the reaction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reaction and Coefficients**: The balanced chemical equation is: \[ 4A + B \rightarrow 2C + 2D \] Here, the coefficients are: - For \( A \): 4 - For \( B \): 1 - For \( C \): 2 - For \( D \): 2 2. **Write the Rate Expressions**: The rate of a reaction can be expressed in terms of the change in concentration of the reactants and products over time. For this reaction, we can express the rates as: \[ -\frac{1}{4} \frac{d[A]}{dt} = -\frac{1}{1} \frac{d[B]}{dt} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{d[C]}{dt} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{d[D]}{dt} \] 3. **Analyze Each Statement**: - **Statement A**: The rate of disappearance of \( B \) is one-fourth of the rate of disappearance of \( A \). - This is correct because the rate of disappearance of \( B \) is indeed one-fourth of the rate of disappearance of \( A \) (since the coefficient of \( A \) is 4). - **Statement B**: The rate of appearance of \( C \) is half the rate of disappearance of \( A \). - This statement is incorrect. The rate of appearance of \( C \) is actually twice the rate of disappearance of \( A \) (since the coefficient of \( C \) is 2, while that of \( A \) is 4). - **Statement C**: The rate of formation of \( D \) is half the rate of consumption of \( A \). - This statement is correct. The rate of formation of \( D \) is indeed half the rate of consumption of \( A \) (as both coefficients lead to the same conclusion). - **Statement D**: The rates of formation of \( C \) and \( D \) are equal. - This statement is correct. The rates of formation of \( C \) and \( D \) are equal because they both have the same coefficient (2) in the balanced equation. 4. **Conclusion**: The statement that is not correct is **Statement B**: "The rate of appearance of \( C \) is half the rate of disappearance of \( A \)." ### Final Answer: **The incorrect statement is Statement B.**
