The average rate of disappearance of ozone in the reaction 2o3(g) → 3o2(g) is found to be 7.25×10–3 atm over a certain interval of time. what is the rate of appearance of o2 during this interval?

1.0875 x 10-2 atm

2O3(g) → 3O2(g)

rate = -(1/2)∆[O3]/∆t = +(1/3)∆[O2)/∆t  

The average rate of disappearance of ozone ... is found to  

be 7.25 × 10–3 atm over a certain interval of time.

This means (ignoring time)

∆[O3]/∆t = -7.25 × 10^–3 atm  

(it is disappearing, thus the negative sign)

rate = -(1/2)∆[O3]/∆t  

rate = -(1/2)*(-7.25 × 10^–3 atm)

      = 3.625 × 10^–3 atm  

Now use the other part of the expression:  

rate = +(1/3)∆[O2)∆t  

3.625 × 10–3 atm = +(1/3)∆[O2)/t  

∆[O2)/∆t = (3)*(3.625× 10^–3 atm)

              = 1.0875 x 10-2 atm over the same time interval
