1/2delta(ClO2)/dt = d(ClO2-)/dt
If rate for Cl2O is 0.230 then divide by 2 to find the rate of ClO2^-.
In kinetics. the equation tells you that the rate of Cl2O is twice as fast as ClO2^-
Chlorine dioxide reacts in basic water to form chlorite and chlorate according to the following chemical equation:
2ClO2(aq) + 2OH–(aq) —> ClO2–(aq) + ClO3–(aq) + H2O(l)
Under a certain set of conditions, the initial rate of disappearance of chlorine dioxide was determined to be 2.30 x 10–1 M/s. What is the initial rate of appearance of chlorite ion under those same conditions?
