if you look at the graph , you could
observe the fact that whenever the 0.087 less.
concentration reaches 0.8 it stays
the same .
(b) At which time (t = 0 s, 1 s, 2 s, 3 s, or 4 s) is the (b) What is the rate of formation of C2H4 between
rate of appearance of X the greatest (or is X 20 and 30 s?
changing at the same rate)? Explain briefly.
0.072
at 0.8 concentration the amount
stayed the same as time goes by so that is 5. For the reaction: Cl2 (g) + 3 F2 (g)  2 ClF3 (g)
