Question

5. Consider the following reaction:

2Fe(NO3)3(aq) + 3CuCl₂(aq) → 2FeCl3(s) + 3Cu(NO3)2 (aq)

The concentration of Fe(NO3)3 (aq) at t = 19.4 s is 0.53 mol/L. At t = 59.8 s its

concentration is 0.21 mol/L.

a. Calculate the average rate of reaction with respect to Fe(NO3)3 (aq).

b. Calculate the average rate at which Cu(NO3)2 (aq) is being formed.

c. Calculate the average rate of reaction with respect to CuCl₂ (s).
