m/s

(b) at what rate is ph3 changing?

m/sf

1- 0.04 M/s.

2- 0.16 M/s.

Explanation:

For the reaction: 4PH₃ → P₄ + 6H₂.

The rate of the reaction = - d[PH₃]/4dt = d[P₄]/dt = d[H₂]/6dt.

where, - d[PH₃]/dt is the rate of PH₃ changing "rate of disappearance of PH₃".

d[P₄]/dt is rate of P₄ changing "rate of appearance of P₄".

d[H₂]/dt is the rate of H₂ changing "rate of formation of H₂" (d[H₂]/dt = 0.24 M/s).

(a) At what rate is P₄ changing?

∵ The rate of the reaction = d[P₄]/dt = d[H₂]/6dt.

∴ rate of P₄ changing = d[P₄]/dt = d[H₂]/6dt = (0.240 M/s)/(6.0) = 0.04 M/s.

(b) At what rate is PH₃ changing?

∵ The rate of the reaction = - d[PH₃]/4dt = d[H₂]/6dt.

∴ rate of PH₃ changing = - d[PH₃]/dt = 4(d[H₂]/6dt) = (4)(0.240 M/s)/(6.0) = 0.16 M/s.

Answer from: adammartinez12

a. P₄ is changing at rate : 0.04 M/s

b. PH₃ is changing at rate : -0.16 M/s

Further explanation

The reaction rate (v) shows the change in the concentration of the substance (changes in addition to concentrations for reaction products or changes in concentration reduction for reactants) per unit time.

Can be formulated:

Reaction: aA ---> bB

$\large{\boxed{\boxed{\bold{v~=~-\frac{\Delta A}{\Delta t}}}}$

$\large{\boxed{\boxed{\bold{v~=~+\frac{\Delta B}{\Delta t}}}}$

A = reagent

B = product

v = reaction rate

t = reaction time

For the reaction :

4PH₃(g) → P₄(g) + 6H₂(g)

Reaction rate is proportional with reaction coefficient :

$\displaystyle v=-\frac{1}{4}\frac{\Delta [PH_3]}{\Delta t}=+\frac{\Delta [P_4]}{\Delta t}=+\frac{1}{6}\frac{\Delta [H_2]}{\Delta t}$

Rate of H₂ = 0.24 M/s

then :

a. Rate of P₄ :

$\displaystyle v_{P_4}=\frac{1}{6}v_{H_2}\\\\v_{P_4}=\frac{1}{6}\times 0.24\\\\v_{P_4}=0.04~M/s$

b. Rate of PH₃ :

$\displaystyle v_{PH_3}=-\frac{4}{6}v_{H_2}\\\\v_{PH_3}=-\frac{4}{6}\times 0.24\\\\v_{P_4}=-0.16~M/s$

The grandmother cell is a hypothetical neuronthat represents a complex but specific concept or object.[1] it activates when a person "sees, hears, or otherwise sensibly discriminates"[2] a specific entity, such as his or her grandmother. the term was in use at least as early as 1966 amongst staff and students in the department of experimental psychology, university of cambridge, england. a similar concept, that of the gnostic neuron, was proposed two years later
